Hello from Father Michael, Deacon Vince, Sister Kathleen, Danielle and the Parish Office.
Confirmation 2023: What a night!
Congratulations to our 42 Confirmation families after Archbishop Prowse led us in Mass last Wednesday. It was a memorable night, filled with joy and celebration. Let us pray with the Archbishop that Confirmation is never an end - only a beginning.
Father Michael would like to thank the schools (especially Brigitta and Laura), Tim from the Faith & Life Centre, Cathy and Danielle, and the League of Minions, for all their work to bring the Sacramental journey to such a special place.
The Year of the Holy Spirit
Archbishop Prowse inaugurated the Year of the Holy Spirit in the Archdiocese on 19 August.
His homily is available in this week's bulletin. It refers to the resources which are available, and to come, to help us open ourselves to the grace of the Holy Spirit. Father Michael urges you to visit the Archdiocese website regularly to keep in touch with what's available and what's happening (www.cgcatholic.org.au).
Fundraising for the statues of Our Lady has been completed!
Father Michael wishes to thank everybody who has donated for the encasement of the statues. Thanks to some wonderful generosity, the cost has been covered! The process of placing and protecting the statues will now start.
