Happy Father's Day
"As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him." [Psalm 103:13] Just as earthly fathers show compassion and care for their children, our Heavenly Father demonstrates boundless love and mercy towards those who honour Him.

Farewell Rohini
After 48 years of faithful service to Christ at St Andrew's, Rohini Jayaratne is returning to Sri Lanka. Rohini has servied this parish as a vestry member, reader, welcomer, intercesser, communion assistant, pastoral visitor at Cabrini Brighton, and provided us with hospitality after our service for many years. We will miss her but hope to see her when she visits her family in Australia regularly. Best wishes, Rohini.
