Altar Serving Invitation

Last week the children who have recently made their First Reconciliation were invited to become an Altar Server. This is a wonderful opportunity to become part of the St Patrick’s Parish through this valuable ministry and an active way to demonstrate your faith.

So far, we have had one reply, however we would LOVE to have more new recruits. As an Altar Server, you would be rostered on approximately once every 5 – 6 weeks. If your child would love to be involved, please contact me asap. The new roster will be compiled soon ready for Term 3.

As we reflect on this the ‘Year of Hope’, we are reminded of our late Pope Francis.

Pope Francis's message for the 2025 Jubilee year centred on hope and kindness, encouraging Christians to be "pilgrims of hope" and to choose love as a way to connect with others. Pope Francis emphasized that hope is a gift from God, especially in times of suffering, and that it should guide our actions and interactions with the world. He also called for a renewed sense of confidence and a commitment to building a more fraternal and peaceful world. 

Pope Francis left us with many legacies. His words and actions showed that he walked in the footsteps of Jesus. We pray that in this Jubilee Year of Hope we can follow his example.
