Friday is Remembrance Day when we honour those Australians who died in the line of duty. It has been celebrated around the Commonwealth and other parts of the world since the end of World War I with many people wearing a red poppy in remembrance.
No one would doubt the importance of recycling. The need to protect our planet and to ensure future generations enjoy what we have enjoyed is a no-brainer!
November is Family Stories Month, and we believe families should set aside the month to share stories amongst themselves. Storytelling is a fun way to learn more about the different generations before it’s too late.

Prayers and rememberence for loved ones we have lost.
You may know someone who is mourning, or you yourself may be grieving. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. At Majellan we want to offer some support to all that may be grieving so I invite you to list the name of anyone you know of who has died so we can remember and acknowledge and pray for them and their families.
We invite you to register the name(s) of anyone who has passed away recently. We will list the names on a special page on our website and send the details to our Redemptorist communities to be included in their Masses and prayer services.
Let’s pause and remember those we have lost, young and old. May perpetual light shine upon them and may they rest in peace.

If family history had a favorite holiday, it would have to be All Souls’ Day, the thousand-year-old observance that falls every year on November 2, immediately after All Saints’ Day, which is on November 1. Like All Saints’ Day, All Souls’ Day is for remembering people who have died. But while All Saints’ Day is focused on Christian martyrs and saints, All Souls’ Day is all about the members of your own family and family tree. It’s a day for being with family, visiting cemeteries, sharing memories of loved ones, and honoring traditions.

On World Mission Sunday Mass donations are collected to support churches, hospitals, schools and vocations in countries where the Church is new, young or poor.
