WELCOME TO OUR PARISH...

  If you are new to our Parish please come and introduce yourself to one of our priests after Mass -
or come and say hello at the Parish Centre during the week.   

Our parish is made up of people within many groups -  including Schools & Colleges, a Retirement Village, Youth Ministry, Boys Town and many more.  You can begin to explore these groups on this website - but this is only a 'door' to the real people.  While waiting to introduce yourself you might like to click on the side menu to see the faces of our Parish Team, view a Map of the Parish Buildings and read about the various Parish Groups that look forward to welcoming you.   The Contacts group will point you to web-links and also phone and email contact details.  Looking forward to meeting you.

 

3rd Sunday in Lent  - 6/7 March.

Dear Parishioners,

We are half way through Lent - where are you on the Lenten Journey?  
The biggest difference in our lives flows from our 'actions'.  What determines our 'actions' are our decisions.  Let us continue to make decisions that move us towards our deepest dreams and hopes in regards to our families, church/God, and our own lives.   
Thanks to those who shared in the masses on the weekend about how blessed we are in our parish due to the sacrifices, foresight and commitment of those who have gone before us and so many people today.   The more aware we are of our blessings the more we can be inspired and empowered to be similar in the way we live today.  How have you been blessed by this parish community?   How are you part of blessing our community today and into the future?
Thanks to those who are helping with the efforts being made to deepen the meaning and experience of the sacraments for our children and ourselves.  If we can see how each sacrament is an opportunity to grow within oursleves towards God and each other, we can appreicate the efforts being made by those exploring this aspect of our lives.

With blessings and gratitude,

Fr Mick (Parish Priest)


This week:  Repent - change direction!   Seek growth!
