This week, we’re praying with our 43 Confirmation candidates and their families as they prepare for their Mass on Wednesday night. May the Lord bless them and the Holy Spirit inspire them!

Hello from Father Michael, Deacon Vince, Sister Kathleen, Danielle and the Parish Office.

 

The Father’s Day Appeal for Retired Clergy is now open

Your support will help the Clergy Retirement Foundation to care for our retired priests. Donations can be made through the Qkr! App.

 

Parish finances update

Father Michael would like to thank everyone who has reviewed their giving to the parish, and particularly thanks those who have been able to update their contributions. Our negative income has not yet been stabilised but your generosity has made a very welcome start.

In response to inquiries from parishioners, the first collection at our Masses supports the needs of the Archdiocese, including supporting our priests. 30% of each Tap And Go donation also supports the Archdiocese. The second collection stays in the parish, along with 70% of Tap And Go donations.

 

God’s Word 2024 is now available to order

Next year’s edition can be pre-ordered for the discount price of $17 but the offer ends on 31 August

You can use the Qkr! App.

Or place $17 in an envelope, write “God’s Word” on the envelope, and place the envelope in the second collection bag or visit the parish office during business hours. Please write the church you wish to collect the book from!
