The Feast Day of St Patrick
Mass will be celebrated at 7.30am on Monday 18th March.
An Old Irish Blessing for St. Patrick’s Day:
May your days be many and your troubles be few
May all God’s blessings descend upon you
May peace be within you, may your heart be strong
May you find what you’re seeking, wherever you roam
May the strength of God pilot us, may the wisdom of God instruct us
May the hand of God protect us, may the word of God direct us
May thy Salvation, O Lord, be always ours this day and for evermore
Amen
The Feast Day of St Joseph
Mass will be celebrated at 7.30am on Tuesday 19th March.
Blessed Joseph, husband of Mary, be with us this day
You protected and cherished the Virgin
loving the Child Jesus as your Son
you rescued Him from the danger of death
Defend the Church, the household of God, purchased by the Blood of Christ
Guardian of the Holy Family, be with us in our trials
May your prayers obtain for us the strength to flee from error
and wrestle with the powers of corruption so that in life we may grow in holiness
and in death rejoice in the crown of victory
Amen
Easter Volunteers
Easter is the largest liturgical celebration throughout the year and many volunteers are needed across all ministries.
If you are on the regular roster and attending any of the Easter Liturgies, could you please consider volunteering.
We are in need of Extraordinary Ministers of Communion, Lectors, Altar Servers.
Please write your name on the sheets on the rear table of the church or contact Helen Williamson on 0408 970 120.
Volunteers are also needed to participate in the 'Washing of the Feet' at the Holy Thursday Mass. Please write your name on the sign-up sheet at the rear of the church if you would like to volunteer.
Palms & Olive Branches
Due to a limited supply, regrettably the parish will not be able to provide enough palms for everybody this year.
We are asking those who can bring their own palm or olive branch with them to Mass to please do so.
Anyone who is able to provide large palms to assist in decorating our Church can drop them off after the morning Mass on either Friday or Saturday.
