St Mary's Prays
Vale Bishop Pat Power
It is with deep sadness that I share the news of the passing of Bishop Patrick Percival Power. Pat was a priest and bishop who served Canberra and the wider community with unwavering faith, compassion, and dedication.
Bishop Pat was a guiding presence for many years, offering spiritual leadership, comfort, and wisdom to generations of families. His gentle nature, warm smile, and commitment to service touched the lives of countless individuals, young and old.
We remember him not only as a man of faith but as a true friend. His legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all who mourn his loss.
May he rest in eternal peace.
This week at St Mary’s our focus value will be Optimism - Optimism allows you to be positive, look on the bright side of any situation, and approach tasks with enthusiasm. It is the opposite of worrying and being negative. We should strive to have optimism because we are aware that God is always by our side, especially when we pray to Him.
A Prayer for Optimism
