CELEBRATES FAITH WEEKEND
Our Stewardship Program continues this week as we focus on
how our Parish Community celebrates.
Fr John will speak to us about the significance of how our
parish comes together as a community to celebrate the
Eucharist. To quote Pope Francis in the National Catholic
Reporter: Celebrating the Eucharist should make a
difference in the way a parish community lives. At Mass,
Christ gathers people around him to nourish us with his word
and his life.
There are still individually addressed envelopes which contain the Program brochure,
a Time & Talent sheet listing the groups and ministries available in the parish, plus a
covering letter from Fr John available in the Gathering Space. Please note that for
parish school families their letter has been sent home from school .
Parish Information Meeting
At all Masses this Sunday, RSVP cards will be distributed for parishioners to indicate
their attendance at the key meeting of the Stewardship Program (Wednesday, 5th
August at 7.30pm). Please show your support of our parish by making one hour
available to come and participate at this special event. Full details are in the special
attachment to this bulletin.
Please join our parish community in praying for the success of the Program
Looking Forward: This Regional Gathering will provide an opportunity for
parishes in our region to share their progress and initiatives in response to the
Gatherings held in 2014. All are welcome to come along this Tuesday at 7.00pm in
the Gathering Space. (The 2014 Looking Forward Resource Document is available
