REMEMBERANCE NOVEMBER : November is traditionally a month of remembrance. The month will begin with the Solemnity of ‘All Saints’ on Saturday 1st November and the Commemoration of the All the Faithful Departed (All Souls’ Day), on Sunday 2nd November.
As part of month of Remembrance, a prayer book and candles will be set up front of the church.
Parishioners are welcomed throughout the month to place names of deceased loved ones in the book and to light a prayer candle before or after mass.
Envelops will be available for Parishioners to offer mass for loved ones.
A MINISTRY OF HOPE: We recently welcomed Sr Mary O’Shannassy to speak about her ministry as a Prison Chaplain. It was an insightful and inspiring reflection on hope and compassion in ministry. Parishioners were deeply engaged, and we enjoyed a wonderful morning tea and discussion afterwards. We thank Sr Mary for sharing her work and stories, and all who helped organise the event
