Weekend Mass Times

Saturday   5pm (Quirindi)                6:30pm (Werris Creek)

Sunday      8am (Willow Tree)         9:30am (Quirindi)

The theme of this Sunday’s readings can be summarised in two words: happiness and trust.

This week, let our prayers centre around the choices we make as we try to find happiness.

 

 

A reminder that all attendees at Mass should be wearing a face mask inside the Church, socially distance and check in using the QR Code at the entrance.  

 

Save the Date

On Sunday 27th February, 2022, the St Joseph's School community will be participating in the celebration of Mass with our parishioners and friends at 9:30am. Following Mass we will be laying the pavers at our School and enjoying a morning tea afterwards.

 

More details will be shared in next week's newsletter.

 

Opening School Mass 2022

Students and staff celebrated our Opening School Mass with Fr Vince last Friday.  Mrs Long, in her Principal's Address, spoke of the importance of 'always striving to be the best version of ourselves' in all we do and say.  Stage 3 students processed in with symbols of being a member of the St Joseph's School Community.  This was followed by the entrance hymn:  Come! Share the Spirit! performed by our choir for the very first time in public - we hope it will become our new School Song with a bit of refining.  Fr Vince reaffirmed Mrs Long's words and also included that we should try to 'listen with the ear of our hearts.'
