According to https://www.gard.no/about-gard/, Gard enables "sustainable maritime development by providing insurance, financial security and practical assistance when disaster strikes." .... "Gard proudly comprises a diverse team, with employees hailing from over 30 different nationalities, working collaboratively across 15 offices worldwide." Our reason for mentioning all of this is that during his past week we visited a ship (not the one in this photo) where one of the seafarers asked us what we knew about a topic concerning their pay. Whilst we enjoyed afternoon tea in the ship's mess, we Googled the information for them in order to help them to chase up the matter. That was our good deed for the day, and we learnt something new ourselves.

We are very fortunate that several ladies constantly provide us with a range of beanies for us to give to seafarers. The latest batch of warm wooly beanies included this one in Australian football team Adelaide FC's club colours

Lefevre Catholic Community collections for Sea Sunday will be taken at Masses this weekend

💙 Stella Maris Appeal 🧡
Each year, Sea Sunday is set aside by many Christian Churches as a day to remember, celebrate, and pray for Seafarers and their families, and to give thanks for their lives and work. Seafarers work tirelessly in the high seas throughout the year bringing us more than ninety percent of the goods we need.
Fr Josy will give a short talk on Stella Maris and there will be a leaving collection at all Masses next weekend, 19th & 20th July. Thank you for your support.
