On Sunday a group of OLSH sisters joined hundreds of people at a rally to stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in dentention and to say no to unjust policies relating to detainment of people who are refugees.

This year we are celebrating the 45th anniversary of Earth Day, the theme is ‘It’s time to Lead, It’s time to Change’

It is very clear to all world leaders that Pope Francis has a special love for nature; in July this year he will be issuing an encyclical about caring for the environment. This is coming at an opportune time as towards the end of the year, world leaders will gather in Paris for crucial climate talks.

On Holy Saturday more than 100 people braced wind, rain and high seas to come together for a peaceful, public, Christian prayer vigil for children in detention, outside the Hon Tony Abbot’s office in Manly.

There are approximately 250 children in Australian immigration detention, including 119 on Nauru.

The fast growing multi-faith and multi-denomination Christian movement, Love Makes a Way has been holding prayer vigils in the electoral offices of Government Ministers in a bid to raise awareness about the suffering of hundreds of children currently held in detention, and the long term mental and emotional damage this is causing.

A group of Daughters of Our Lady  of the Sacred Heart will join the ‘Love Makes a Way’ group on Holy (Easter) Saturday out the front of the Prime Minister's office for an Easter Saturday vigil for children and families in detention

During this season of Lent, we are reminded of the importance of touch in Jesus’ ministry. On Holy Thursday a small group of sisters visited St Joseph’s Aged Care Facility , to offer a simple hand massage, in the spirit of ‘caring’, to our sisters  and other residents . It was a privilege to offer this simple gesture to those whose, often heroic lives, have been spent caring for and working with God’s people.

"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

On the path of ecological conversion

More than ever young people are discerning direction for their life. For some it is the question, “Where is God calling me?” for others, “What is my heart’s desire, its deepest desire?”, “Where can I find true meaning in my life?”, “What journey will enable me to love the best way I can?”

This genuine search is not for a comfortable lifestyle, but a life fulfilled by living Jesus’ greatest command, to love God and to love my neighbour as myself.

On March 28th 2015 from 8.30pm-9.30pm millions of people around the world will switch off their lights in support of Earth Hour. Since 2007 Earth Hour has grown to a worldwide event in 162 countries.

Join millions of Australians and people around the world to make a long lasting difference to our earth.
