PARISH LEADERSHIP TEAM MEETING: During our previous meeting, the following topics were reviewed: Maintenance: ceiling (water leakage), carpet repairs and mulch/ sleepers for garden; Finance: we will trial an Eftpos machine. We discussed the current state of the Child Care development. If you would like any topics discussed, please forward to a member of PLT. Next meeting 29th of April at 7pm.
BLESSING OF HOMES : Anyone wishing to have their houses blessed during the Easter Season, please let Fr John know to organise a time
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 30th of April, 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!
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. Thank you for stepping in and supporting the community of Our Lady of the Way. 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)
Parish Suggestion Box: A white suggestion box has been placed in the church foyer. If parishioners have any concerns or questions, please feel free to write a message and place it in the box or reach out to a member of the Parish Leadership Team (PLT).
