provided fun and entertaining events on 31 October All Hallows Eve – the vigil of All Saints Day on 1 November There is no doubt that the American-style Halloween is growing in popularity in Australia But instead of dressing as ghouls and terrifying creatures several parishes asked their pint-sized parishioners to honour the true meaning of All Hallows Eve and come dressed as their favourite saint or Bible hero priests and a few who dressed up as Jesuses This was the second All Hallows event for Saint Paul The Apostle Parish in Winston Hills organised by a group of mothers who wanted something different for their children Fr John Paul Escarlan with a mini look-alike Image: supplied with permission from Winston Hills Parish “The All Hallows event started in 2023 as a response to the increasing push and pressure on children to celebrate secular Halloween,” said parishioner and co-organiser Philomena “All Hallows Eve is a lovely reminder of our mortality the importance of praying for the dead and to celebrate our call to be saints,” she said with more than 70 children participating in a candlelit rosary procession “Everyone had a lot of fun and it joined the community together A special thanks to Fr John Paul Escarlan for his continued involvement and support,” said Philomena The new Somascan priests at St Padre Pio Parish were more than happy to support the first-ever All Hallows event As Assistant Priest Fr Sheldon Burke CRS said in the leadup to the event “It is so important for children and families to participate in celebrations in light of our Catholic faith “Encouraging the children to dress up as saints is a great way for them to celebrate the saints we imitate and the saints we are ultimately called to be,” he said a group of parents from Glenmore Park parish came together to organise the first celebration of All Hallows Eve “The parents were looking for something different for their children who were being pressured by their friends to go out into the streets trick or treating dressed as witches or skeletons for Halloween,” said one of the organisers “The church wanted to give the children a platform to have a fun-filled evening but at the same time keeping up the Christian way The super-cute ‘saints’ started in the church and were asked to introduce their saint in front of the crowd Parish Priest Fr Johnson CRS and Fr Sheldon then conducted a Q&A with the children with one mother saying: “A massive congratulations and thanks to Fr Johnson Fr Sheldon and all the volunteers for doing such an amazing job organising it for the children and I feel like it was such a lovely way of celebrating the feast day.”   these parishes are encouraging all parishes in the Diocese to consider organising an All Hallows event in 2025 Check out the full

Two feuding councils whose boundary lines divide a popular Sydney pub are at loggerheads over which municipality the venue should sit in, in a years-long fight the hotel\\u2019s owner has described as \\u201Cpetty\\u201D. The Winston Hotel, in Winston Hills in Sydney\\u2019s north-west, pays rates to both Parramatta City and the Hills Shire councils. And if it wants to develop the property, it is required to submit separate applications to both councils. The odd border quirk is one of dozens of seemingly arbitrary council boundaries drawn up across Sydney that can result in landowners being forced to pay two sets of rates, and submit development applications twice \\u2013 once to each council. The Winston owner Andrew Thomas went to Parramatta Council in late 2022 proposing the pub\\u2019s building be put within Parramatta Council\\u2019s boundary and the carpark under the Hills Shire Council\\u2019s. Unhappy with the publican\\u2019s proposed split, Parramatta Council instead voted to subsume the entire precinct into its own area, causing a tangible loss of income, through rates, to the Hills Shire Council. \\u201CWe\\u2019re trying to get the boundary changed so we\\u2019re not having to get two lots of different rates, two [development applications],\\u201D said Thomas, who was offered a record $175 million for his famous Oaks Hotel in Neutral Bay in 2022. The border between the two councils mostly follows the track of the M2 motorway, but splits off at the pub, resulting in the Winston Hotel, the Winston Hills Shopping Centre, and a small block of strata apartments all falling into the Hills Shire Council. \\u201CThey\\u2019re ratepayers, that\\u2019s income we rely on to pay for services that they use,\\u201D said Hills Shire Council general manager Michael Edgar, whose council made a counter-proposal to divide the land in a similar fashion to that proposed by Thomas. \\u201CWe think there is an easy solution to solve it. \\u201C[That] would have resolved the issue with no loss of income, no loss of rate base. It was quite simple. What then got exhibited [by Parramatta Council] and sent to the government was a lot bigger and that\\u2019s what we\\u2019re objecting to.\\u201D Parramatta Council\\u2019s application is now before Local Government Minister Ron Hoenig and the Geographic Names Board.

Totalling 860 square metres, the centre serves over 270 residents and contains new flooring, light fittings and fixtures, furnishings and the construction of a brand new cafe titled ‘The Coffee Pot.’ Its other facilities include a swimming pool, billiards room, hairdresser, amphitheatre, dining room and gym. Stockland’s General Manager of Retirement Living, Kirrily Lord, says the new centre provides residents with a renewed sense of belonging, and an increased sense of comfort. “The Community Centre at The Willows Retirement Village has been its lifeblood since 1992, and so we’re delighted to be able to upgrade the space, which includes new classic and contemporary fixtures and furnishings that are warm, comforting and inspire a sense of belonging,” she says. “The new Community Centre will offer residents a fresh and modern environment in which they can relax, socialise or grab a hot coffee and snack with family and friends in the brand new, fully equipped café.” Member for Seven Hills, Mark Taylor LLM MP was on show for the ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday with Stockland representatives. Taylor says he looks forward to seeing the centre growing into a highly regarded community facility for members of the village. “Congratulations to Stockland’s The Willows Retirement Village at Winston Hills on the opening of the new community centre. It’s fantastic to see such a high quality refurbishment with a wide range of amenities available to residents, after what has been a particularly challenging past year,” he says. “I’m certain the new centre will bring a new lease of life to the community and be an asset for all residents to enjoy for years to come.” The Willows residents Tony and Anne Kitto, who have lived in the community for the past four years, say the centre will be utilised heavily by the community thanks to the recent upgrades. “We’ve been eagerly awaiting the reopening of the Community Centre and it's safe to say that the upgrade does not disappoint.

As the Catholic Church celebrated its most significant week in the liturgical calendar Fr Raning Creta was having his own special occasion the former Parish Priest of St Paul the Apostle Parish Winston Hills has celebrated the 40th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood Fr Raning is still humbled by the experience of being able to share in the ministry of the Lord Fr Raning Creta during the celebrations for the 40th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood at St Paul the Apostle Parish “It’s a really happy experience and a great blessing,” Fr Raning told Catholic Outlook “I have experienced the Lord guiding me in many different ways “The Lord has offered me to share His priesthood despite my own inadequacies and brokenness “I look at the priesthood as not only doing something for the people but God wanting to continue to bless the people that I minister to through me “Come and see” experience led Fr Raning to priesthood Fr Raning’s pathway to the priesthood began during the fourth year of high school in the Philippines when he had the opportunity to meet with seminarians who invited those interested in becoming a priest to a weekend visit at the seminary After being immersed into the life of a seminarian Fr Raning was interviewed by the seminary’s Dean and its Rector and after passing an exam He studied at the St Francis Xavier college seminary in 1974 for four years and then attended the St Francis Xavier Regional Major Seminary Fr Raning was ordained to the priesthood at his home parish of Virgen Dolorosa (Our Lady of Sorrows) in Davao City my father strongly objected to it because I was the only boy in my family and it took him some time to support me,” he said “My father wasn’t a strong Catholic before I joined the seminary but when he started supporting me in my journey to the priesthood “Realising what happened to my parents when they started supporting me inspired and encouraged me in my vocation.” whilst he was serving in a parish coincidentally called St Paul’s Fr Raning was requested by his Archbishop Fernando Capalla to move to Australia to become the new Chaplain to the Filipino Catholic Chaplaincy in the Diocese of Parramatta who was a priest from the same Diocese in the Philippines I had two professors in the seminary who were from Australia and I heard so much about it it did not take me very long to get to know people I met a lot of Filipinos and befriended them right away I was living at St Michael’s Church Blacktown South and two of the priests who were there at the time – Fr Kevin Dadswell and Fr Zakaria Gayed – were very friendly and accommodating They made me feel so at home and it helped me settle in.” Fr Raning was appointed as the second ever Parish Priest at Winston Hills following on from the dedicated service of Fr David Scott “I have been blown away by the commitment of the people to their spiritual life and to the community,” Fr Raning described his community Parish Priest Fr Raning Creta blesses the palms of parishioners during Palm Sunday Mass at St Paul the Apostle Parish “It would have been difficult for me to come into the parish after the previous priest was there for 40 years but I definitely felt so at home and the people were so hospitable and friendly “These are the characteristics that the people here at St Paul’s can be proud of.” Moving into the later stages of his ministry Fr Raning was recently appointed Parish Priest of St Matthew’s Parish so ministering to a smaller parish is the best thing for me,” he said In a recent Facebook post shared by the parish parishioners have shared their best wishes for Fr Raning’s new appointment May the Lord bless you on your new path of life Thank you for all you have done for the community and to our family,” one parishioner wrote “Thank you father for your wisdom and leadership Best wishes on your next journey,” another parishioner wrote “Fr Raning you have been an inspiration and a true shepherd to your flock at Winston Hills your friendship and your guidance and wish you God’s choicest blessings on your new pastoral appointment,” another parishioner wrote Find out how to vote Donations by individuals to registered political parties of between $2 and $1,500 in a financial year are tax deductible.

The hills are alive with the sound of buyers demanding a slice of some of NSW’s hottest suburbs in 2021.Hills district suburbs dominated a realestate.com.au list of Sydney’s most in-demand suburbs for houses and units based on average views per listing.Hunters Hill topped out the list of popular pockets for houses while suburbs like Balgowlah and Wollstonecraft received a lot of attention for people hunting for units PropTrack director of economic research Cameron Kusher said a range of factors were driving demand in suburbs like Baulkham Hills and Winston Hills “A lot of buyers are looking at areas of strong price growth that also include good lifestyle options,” Mr Kusher said we will see a number of returning white collar expats that will continue to drive growth in Sydney’s eastern suburbs and the Hills District.” there’s been a reluctance to list their properties during a pandemic With restrictions being loosened and confidence on the rise we can expect to see more activity in the Sydney market next year.”Tracey Dixon has worked in the real estate industry for over 17 years and is a Partner of McGrath Hunters Hill Ms Dixon told The Saturday Telegraph she was not surprised to hear the area had come out on top “Hunters Hill really is a rare jewel when it comes to suburbs in Sydney People go through their life cycle here; they move in as a young couple upgrade their house when they start a family downsize when their kids move out and happily retire here in their later years,” Ms Dixon said Hunters Hill topped the list of most in demand suburbs the second most in-demand suburb on the list North Rocks has been slowly gaining traction over the past few years as buyers are noticing all the things that the suburb has to offer.“With connections to arterial roads and some of the state’s top public schools in the area North Rocks is a bit of an underdog when it comes to places buyers want to live,” Mr Perram said.“A large part of the appeal is the block sizes of the homes; a lot of young families move into the area and reshape their home to fit their needs.” expats could radically shift which suburbs are popular “With the shopping district being renewed and redeveloped to make it more accessible for locals the whole area has been under going significant transformation.”Balgowlah topped the list for most in-demand suburbs for viewers looking to buy a unit The northern Sydney suburb is located 12km north-east of the CBD making it a good spot for families to access schools and parks in a prime location Balgowlah topped the list of the most in demand suburbs for units in NSW 2021 – real estate Geologist Stephanie Kovach purchased a unit with her brother William Kovach on 2/465 Sydney Road in the suburb for $1,050,000 with the help of McGrath Collaroy/Dee Why Sales Agents Mario Esposito and Giovanni Di Mauro in July this year.Ms Kovach was looking for a property where she could make the most of the sunny lifestyle and ultimately decided Balgowlah had everything she and her brother William were looking for.“My brother and I love the beaches but I wanted to move somewhere where I could enjoy the sun and be close to the city,” Ms Kovach explained Balgowlah’s proximity to the city and the northern beaches makes it an attractive suburb for potential buyers Younger people have been predominantly snatching up property in Balgowlah Minutes away from the beaches and shopping centres of Stocklands at Balgowlah and Warringah Mall the unit features two spacious bedrooms fitted with built-in wardrobes Mr Esposito said he’s not surprised to hear Balgowlah topped the list for most in demand units telling the Saturday Telegraph that greater numbers of people are considering a home on the Northern Beaches.“Traditionally Balgowlah has done well when it comes to high demand for units it’s the first stop on the Northern Beaches – meaning people have easy access to the lifestyle and Sydney’s CBD,” Mr Esposito said.“We’re seeing a greater number of predominantly younger buyers snatching up property in the area Usually it’s a couple consisting of one person who’s from the beaches and one who is not.” Baulkham Hills was a popular suburb for buyers seeking larger blocks there’s a similar pattern for suburbs to be boosted in popularity by offering work-from-home options and a change in lifestyle.The strength in views per listings for units in areas like Byron Bay Jindabyne and Pottsville could suggest a shift in potential buyers looking to purchase holiday apartments “Assuming lockdowns have ended once and for all there is the potential that we could start to see a slow reversal of these trends While many of these places are nice for a holiday they offer very different things to major cities,” Mr Kusher said “People that have moved into regional areas may find they start to desire city life particularly as people return to the office and amenities such as restaurants and bars HOUSES:#1 Hunters Hill #2

November at Holy Family Services Retirement Village. The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11am on Thursday 12 November at St Paul the Apostle Church at Winston Hills. The Vigil Mass will be in St Paul’s Church at 7.30pm on Wednesday 11 November. Fr David was Pastor Emeritus of St Paul the Apostle Parish. Appointed Parish Priest in 1970, he retired from active ministry in 2010. In 2011, Fr David Cross received the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice from Bishop Anthony Fisher OP at the Chrism Mass. Also known as the ‘Cross of Honour’, the medal was established by Leo XIII in 1888, and is currently given for distinguished service to the Church by lay people and clergy. He was born at Rosebery in 1926 to Jack and Gladys Scott. The stained glass window behind the altar in St Paul the Apostle Church is dedicated to them. He was the middle of three brothers – Michael is the youngest and John who died in 2009 was the eldest. The young David grew up in Kingsford in St Michael’s Parish at Daceyville. He was educated at the parish primary school and what was then Marist Randwick (now Marcellin College). On leaving school, he entered St Columba’s Seminary at Springwood and completed his studies at St Patrick’s Seminary at Manly. He was ordained by Cardinal Gilroy in St Mary’s Cathedral on 22 July 1950. Fr David’s priestly appointments included parishes in Katoomba, Lakemba, Haberfield, Lithgow, Dulwich Hill, Strathfield, St Paul’s Seminary at Manly where he was Director of Students, and St Mary’s Cathedral. His final appointment in 1970 was Parish Priest of St Paul the Apostle Parish at Winston Hills where he spent the next 40 years building the parish from the ground up. Fr Roger Wynne at North Parramatta had procured the land on behalf of the Archdiocese of Sydney. In 1970, Fr David was appointed the first parish priest and was instrumental in the purchase of, or construction of, the church, presbytery, convent and school buildings. As well as being their pastor, he was highly regarded by parishioners as a good administrator. Fr David retired from active ministry in 2010 and regarded the years he spent at Winston Hills as the highlight of his priestly ministry. His brother, Michael, said David was well known for his love of sport, in particular golf. For many years he had played a round every Monday at St Michael’s Golf Club. If you asked any of the many people whose lives have connected with Fr David what stands out most, they would point to his devotion to the Rabbitohs South Sydney football team. Fr David’s funeral will be at St Paul the Apostle Church, 40 Buckley’s Road, Winston Hills. He will be buried at Castlebrook Memorial Park, 712-746 Windsor Road, Rouse Hill.
