Called the Tree of Joy, it was planted next to St Anthony’s famous Maria Santissima delle Grazie shrine a few weeks ago and appeal supporter and Ryde celebrity Roseanna Gallo OAM said she hopes every request on the branches will be granted. “We are a very caring community and a very generous community,” she said. “Our Tree of Joy has more than 200 requests for gifts and we will try hard to meet every request through this initiative of St Anthony’s Parish and the Society of St Vincent de Paul. “In fact, we are Holy Spirit Catholic Parish oly North Spirit Ryde Catholic Parish orth Ryde CHRISTMAS 2016 CHRISTMAS 2017 Second Rite of Reconciliation Second Tuesday Rite of 20 Reconciliation th December Tuesday 197.00pm th December 7.00pm Christmas Eve Masses Christmas Eve Masses 6.30pm Family 6.30pm Outdoor Mass Family (Bring Outdoor Folding Mass Chair) (Bring Folding Chair) 9.30pm 9.30pm Midnight Midnight Christmas Day Masses Christmas Day Masses 8.30am 8.30am 10.00am 10.00am 191 Cox’s Rd, North Ryde 2113 Tel (02) 9888 2569 parish@holyspiritnorthryde.org.au 191 Cox’s Rd, North Ryde 2113 www.holyspiritnorthryde.org.au Tel (02) 9888 2569 parish@holyspiritnorthryde.org.au www.holyspiritnorthryde.org.au R C I + C 3 C A R E S I N V I T E YO U TO A Christmas Dinner W E D N E S DAY 2 0 T H D E C E M B E R 6 : 3 0 P M W E ST RY D E CO M M U N I T Y H A L L A L L W E LCO M E | F R E E CO M M U N I T Y E V E N T R SV P TO DAY | C H R I ST M A S C A R O L S H E L P F O R T H O S E I N N E E D RSVP R E AC H CO M M U N I T Y I N I T I AT I V E S .CO M .

Compassion, charity and mercy for others has been the hallmark of our local Catholic churches during the pontificate of Pope Francis, with Christmas a special time to proclaim the Catholic Church commitment. “It is absolutely essential for the Church F R E E and for the credibility of her message that she herself live and testify to Mercy,” Pope Francis writes. “Her language and her gestures must transmit mercy, so as to touch the hearts of all people and inspire them to find the road that leads to the Father.” As well as celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, Christmas a traditional time of goodwill to all and Pope Francis writes of Jesus’ love and forgiveness. “Mercy will always be greater than any sin and no one can place limits on the love of God, who is ever ready to forgive.” FREE Community Christmas Dinner Reach Community Initiatives will host a free Community Christmas Dinner next Wednesday December 20 in the West Ryde Community Hall, 3-5 Anthony Road, West Ryde, at 6.30pm.
