Perth Vocations Office

💜 Fr Brennan Sia, Parish priest of Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Gosnells gave a reflection on the 'Life of a Priest' at the Perth Vocations event on Sunday 24th May.

Attendees heard how the life of a priest is filled with joys and challenges yet the abiding presence of God is always near.

After a prayerful Holy hour held at St Benedict's church in Applecross the event drew over a dozen young men discerning the priesthood.

🙏 Please keep these men in your prayers and keep an eye out for more events hosted by the Perth Vocations office: https://vocations.perthcatholic.org.au/events-conferences/

🌿 **Caring for Country, Caring for Our Common Home**
17 May – 3 June

As we journey through Laudato Si’ Week and National Reconciliation Week, we are invited into a shared call: to listen deeply, reflect humbly, and respond with love and action.

These weeks remind us that care for creation and reconciliation with First Nations peoples are deeply connected. As Catholics, we are called not only to pray, but to build relationships, seek justice, and care for our common home.

As Pope Francis reminds us in *Laudato Si’*:

> “We live in a common home which God has entrusted to us.”

And Pope Leo XIV writes:

> “Love is prophetic: it works miracles and knows no limits.”

May this be a time to listen with the ear of the heart and to respond with compassion, courage, and hope. 🙏
