Hello from Father Michael, Sister Kathleen, Deacon Vince, Danielle and the Parish Office!
Our first Sacramental Gathering Masses will be on 11 and 12 November
Our Sacramental families for 2024 will be coming to Mass on that weekend to officially start their journey. Let's save the date and come to show our support.
Forgiven, Fed and Fearless! Our Parish Sacramental Programmes for 2024 are now open for registrations
First Eucharist is available to baptised Catholic children who have received First Reconciliation and will be in Year 4 or up in 2024.
Confirmation is available to baptised Catholic children who have receive First Reconciliation and First Eucharist and will be in Year 6 or up in 2024.
To register, start at the appropriate Sacramental tab on this page. Registration uses the Qkr! App by Mastercard.
If you have a family member who's eligible for their Sacrament, or you have friends with an eligible child, please let them know that registration is open. Be a messenger and carry the news!
There will be a Communion Service on Wednesday, 11 October
A Communion Service will be held at St John Vianney church at 9.30am. We regret that there are no priests available on that day to say Mass, so let us pray even harder for vocations to the priesthood and to consecrated life.
We're delighted to welcome Father Brannelly back home for Thurdsay morning's Mass.
Mark Ha will be ordained to the Diaconate on Friday, 3 November
Everyone is invited to celebrate this wonderful event at St Christopher's Cathedral at 5pm. RSVPs are required and there's an online facility on the Archdiocese website. Let's all pray for God's blessings on Mark and his family.
The Catenian Group is looking for your opinions
The Catenians are an international association of lay Catholics committed to faith, family and community service. The Archbishop has authorised the Catenians to conduct an online survey about what adult Catholics need to help them live a committed Catholic life in our modern society.
The survey is fully anonymous, simple, and should take about 10 minutes at the most. To help, go to the survey at:
www.surveymonkey.com/r/CLTZGMW
or you'll find a QR code in this week's bulletin.
The Marian Procession will be held on Sunday, 22 October, at the Goulburn Cathedral
The gathering starts at 10am and will bring our Catholic community together to honour our Blessed Mother and seek her intercession for our needs. It’s a multicultural family day of prayer and celebration.
