The Parish Funeral Booklet Planning Kit is now available
Display copies are in the foyer of each church, and kits are supplied on demand. If you'd like a copy, please put your name on the sign-up sheet in the foyer or email the Office (westoncreek@cg.org.au). Please identify whether you'd like to:
pick up a hard copy from the church you nominate; or
receive the kit by email, have the kit delivered to you; or
pick up the kit on a USB from the church you nominate.
Father Michael asks you to remember in your prayers Father Albert Havas, the former Parish Priest of Holder Parish, on the anniversary of his death. May he rest in peace.
