Kinder and Year 1 Mass
Very special thanks to Mrs Carberry and K/1 for their week 9 mass.
Confirmation Celebration
The 27 candidates received this special sacrament last Saturday night. We thank Father George for leading us in this occasion. The Parish Liturgy Committee of: Denise Reardon, Anne Saunderson, Kate Howe, Madeline Reardon and Carolyn Reardon prepared the children so beautifully and we thank them for their guidance and organisation. The parents and the children commented on what a special event it was for their families and sponsors. We pray that the children upon receiving this sacrament go forth now using the power of the Holy Spirit to practice their Catholic faith in every aspect of their lives and to witness Christ in every situation.
Mass and Liturgy Times:
Please note next term, Mass will be on Fridays at 12pm every week at the Church. Each class will present a class mass every second week.

This date coincides with the feast day of Saint John Berchmans, patron saint of all altar servers. This will allow for new members from the various schools to nominate and train after receiving the sacrament of First Holy Communion.

The Parish is calling for new members of the community to consider volunteering to go on the reading roster for Saturday night mass. Please leave your name at the school or contact the Parish via their website.
Prayer for the week:
Land of The Holy Spirit
“The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ speaks all languages. It esteems and embraces all cultures. It supports them in everything human and, when necessary, it purifies them. Always and everywhere the Gospel uplifts and enriches cultures with the revealed message of a loving and merciful God.”
Pope John Paul II 's address to Indigenous Australians at Blatherskyte Park, Alice Springs, 29 November 1986.
Walking With You in Faith and Knowledge,
Mrs Wilson
