The overall theme of the window is Rising from Darkness to the light. 
It is represented by two fish swimming in water and the symbolic use of the True Vine and the Grain of Wheat. The Vine symbolises our union with Jesus and our dependence on Him.  The Grain of Wheat sown in the ground grows from the darkness within earth towards the light – from darkness to light.
Surrounding the central theme and evenly spaced around each panel in the window one drawings from each grade in the primary school reflecting the life of the Parish and School.
The Parish Emblem is the CHI-RHO symbol and it appears in the four outer corners and enfolds the imagery in the centre of the window.
The X represents the Greek letter “Chi” and the P represents the letters “Rho”.  In the Parish emblem the X and P come together to rise from water and symbolise Christ's Resurrection.

LISTEN TO PLENARY MATTERS
 

Plenary Council
First Assembly
3-10 October

 Over three years ago the decision was announced to hold a Plenary Council and the People of God began preparing for this historic moment by listening to God and by listening to one another’s stories of faith.  After this time of listening and journeying the Catholic Church of Australia will gather for the first assembly of the Plenary Council from 3-10 October 2021.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the First Assembly will be held via ‘one device-one person’ mode.  There will be 17 members participating in this gathering who have been called from the Archdiocese of Melbourne.
 
The Plenary Council website will provide daily livestreams of parts of the opening Plenary sessions and Masses (including the Opening Mass on Sunday 3 October).

Plenary Council Masses and daily morning prayer booklets for full participation are available here:

Archbishop peter A Comensoli's pastoral letter for pentecost 2021

Archbishop Peter A Comensoli has written a Pastoral Letter entitled Take the Way of the Gospel, which invites the Catholic community in Melbourne into a conversation on how we might discern our common mission for the years ahead.  'The Way of the Gospel – the path of missionary discipleship – has always been adapted by every generation to fit the local circumstances.  How this is arranged has varied according to time and place. Now is our time; here is our place.
