Father Michael's new book is on its way

The book examines our encounter with Jesus, where accepting His Lordship in our lives takes nothing away from our humanity - in fact, the encounter fulfils it.

The book will be priced in the near future, so for now you are invited to offer a no obligation expression of interest.

The book will be priced in the near future, so for now you are invited to offer a no obligation expression of interest. There are sheets in the foyers of the churches or you can email the parish office at westoncreek@cg.org with your name, phone number and the number of books you are interested in. Once again, this is a no obligation process!

The Parish Video Prayer Circle is now on YouTube!

The Circle is a project in which parishioners come together after a weekday Mass and join in several prayers. We film the session and send the video to parishioners who are homebound or in care. The aim is to let them be back in the church and back with the community for a little while.

All of the videos we've recorded so far are now on YouTube. Just search for "Parish of Our Lady of the Annunciation Weston Creek" and you'll find our channel. If you'd like to receive automatic updates as we load new material, just subscribe to the channel using the bell icon, and select "all".

If you have a relative or friend who might be interested in trying the Circle, let them know about the channel. It's absolutely a no obligation trial!

Please pray for our schools, their students, their teachers and their communities as we count down to the start of Term One.
