St Joseph's Open Houses 2026
Open Houses is the major annual fundraiser for St Joseph's Primary School, raising funds to facilitate learning and other opportunities for the children of our parish. Maybe it’s full of character, architecturally striking, rich in history, or has a garden that stops people in their tracks! If you know a home that might be perfect, please get in touch for a friendly, no- obligation chat. Contact Jess Pattison, via email openhouses@sjhawthorn.catholic.edu.au
The Pope's Monthly Intentions for 2026
Each year, the Holy Father asks for our prayers for a specific intention each month. You are invited to answer the Holy Father's request and to join with many people worldwide in praying for this intention each month. From time to time, the Holy Father may add a second prayer intention related to current events or urgent needs, like disaster relief. The second prayer request will help mobilize prayer and action related to the urgent situation.
The Holy Father has entrusted these intentions in a particular way to the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network, an organization that works to encourage Christians to respond to the Pope's appeal and to deepen their daily prayer. You can find more information about the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network on their website. (The Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network will also publish any urgent prayer intentions of the Holy Father as soon as they are received from the Holy See.

Statement by Archbishop Peter A Comensoli in response to the events at Bondi Beach
'Yesterday, as a quiet summer evening was settling, and as the festival lights of Hanukkah were being lit, darkness enveloped our Jewish brothers and sisters in a targeted attack against them. Our nation is in shock, and a community of our nation has been devastated, by the violence that unfolded on Bondi Beach.' - read the full statement here
