LENTEN SEASON : As we begin the season of Lent, we are invited into a time of prayer, reflection, and renewal. This sacred season encourages us to draw closer to God through acts of penance, fasting, and self-reflection as we prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter. It is also a time for us to turn our hearts toward others—especially those who are sick in our parish and those preparing for the sacrament of baptism.
We invite parishioners to participate or volunteer in our celebrations: if you are interested in helping as a special minister, reader, or assisting with preparations and hospitality, please add your name to the sign-up sheet in the foyer
PARISH LUNCHEON: The next Parish luncheon will be on the 26th of March, Wednesday at 12.00pm at the Summerhill hotel. Sign-up sheets will be in the foyer or speak to Margaret at 9am Sunday Mass. All are welcome!
PLT MEETING: On Wednesday the 19th of March, the Leadership Team met at the Presbytery to again discuss community matters and preparations for the Lenten Season. The following topics were reviewed: Maintenance: ceiling (water leakage), carpet repairs and mulch/ sleepers for garden; Finance: we will trail an Eftpos machine for sacrificial giving. We discussed the current state of the Child Care development and its delays. Next meeting 29th of April at 7pm.
Church Volunteers : Thank you to our parishioners who continue to volunteer and support the parish: Readers, Ministers, Collectors and Counters, setting up and cleaning after mass, organising social events and morning teas, church and garden maintenance to name a few.

If you are interested in reading, becoming a Eucharist Minister, or wanting to help out in any way, please speak to Fr John or a member of the Parish Leadership Team (PLT)

Celebrating the end of the Liturgical year: A heartfelt thank you for your generous support of last week’s’ End of Year Morning Tea’. Your presence not only fills our cups but also strengthens the bonds of our community. It’s through moments like these, spent together, that we experience the warmth and the joy of friendships built in faith. Your ongoing spirit of care makes our community a truly special place. Let’s continue to share these moments, growing in faith and love as we prepare ourselves through Advent.
