Happy (slightly late) New Year!

A very happy and holy New Year to you from Father Michael, Deacon Vince, Sister Kathleen, Danielle and the Parish Office!

If you're visiting us over the holidays, it's our privilege to welcome you and share our Mass with you. We wish you a happy and safe visit.

Of your mercy, please pray for the repose of the soul of Rathesh Fernando

Rathesh Fernando, the brother of our parish's dear friend Father Rembert Fernando, passed away recently. We join with Father Rembert, his family and the Narrabundah Parish community in their grief and pray to the Lord for all those affected by their loss.

May he rest in peace. Amen.

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!

Update on the St Jude's presbytery redevelopment

The presbytery renovations have started, and are projected to be completed in April 2024. Upon review of the initial scope of works, the cost contingency allowed has needed to be increased due to rising prices. The new estimate with contingencies is in the range of $230,000. 

Regular updates will be provided in the bulletin but should you have any questions please email Alicia Peterson at westoncreek@cg.org.au
