5th Sunday in Ordingary Time  - 6/7 Feb.

Dear Parishioners,

Thanks for those who celebrated with us our founder and patron - St John Bosco last weekend.  Just as I am inspired by his living of life with God, so I am inspired by so many of you living the gospel!   The schools are in their first full week - and we continue to wish both the teachers, students and those families involved, well in this dimension of their lives.  

The primary school have special commissioning masses for their Y6 student council, teachers and blessings for the parents. 

On 14th Feb. it is our farewell, thanks and blessing for Sr Faye at the 6 pm Sunday mass.   Join us to say thanks and to wish her well :)

Finally I warmly encourage you to be part of a lenten discussion group - to nurture your own faith, encouage others and build up our parish community.  

Blessings to you all,
Fr Mick (Parish Priest)

This week:  Isaiah - Here I am! Send me.   Peter, James and John leaving everything to follow him.  My response?  No? Maybe? If? 50/50 ????
Next Week: A curse or a blessing: choose!  Choose in whom you will put your trust!
