UPDATED 10th October 2010 - 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C
This weeks show sees the return of our regular panelist Michael Keating telling us about the special relationship between the Rosary and the Shrine of Fatima, as well as our usual reflections on the weekly Sunday gospel, saints of the week and some local notices.
October - the month of the Rosary and Fatima
Michael leads us in a short reflection on the history of the Rosary as October is the month of the Rosary and the special connection between the apparitions at Fatima and the call to pray the Rosary. An ancient and ecumenical Christian devotion which has received the support of many Pope's down through the ages with the most recent being Pope Paul VI in Marialis Cultus, and Pope John Paul II in Rosarium Virginis Marie.
For some more thoughts on the Rosary, here are some links from the premier Rosary troops, the Dominicans here , here and here.

Invitation from the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart
The canonisation of St Mary MacKillop as Australia's first saint on October 17th has a special significance for us in Ireland. Mary MacKillop's name is well known to many Irish families who gave their daughters to the life and mission of the Sisters of St Joseph in Australia and New Zealand. Mary MacKillop's visit to Ireland in 1874 saw the beginning of a significant contribution from Ireland to the people of God in Australia and New Zealand. For this they rejoice and give thanks!
