Praying Together

Open your heart and turn to God's unconditional love.

Loving and Living God, 

As we meet you in our everyday encounters, 

inspire us to see anew, our place in your Kingdom. 

In our daily lives, 

help us to make daily choices that reflect global solidarity, peace and justice. 

As we reflect on the teaching of our faith, 

equip us to advocate for laws and policies that

reflect your call to faithful stewardship. 

Guide us on our journey and help us to lead with compassion and love. 

Within our community at St Raphael, help us demonstrate to others the gospel values of 

Acceptance, Honesty, Trust and Hope. 

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives 

and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. 

All: Amen.

Initiation & Commitment Mass -TBA

First Eucharist - Sunday 7th November 2021

Dear Parents of First Eucharist Communicants, 

In adhering to the latest directives by our State Government and the Victorian Chief Health Officer regarding Victoria’s extended lockdown (September 2nd, 11:59 pm), we have decided to postpone the First Eucharist celebration to Sunday the 7th of November at 10:30 am. 

After considerable discussions with Fr. Simon Granger, and in our commitment as Catholics in delivering a faith-filled Sacramental program for the students, we have had to make some modifications and adjustments to the program and the celebration date. 

With the current uncertainties, we will continue to communicate any changes per the COVID-19 guidelines set by the State Government in the weeks ahead.
