Dear Families of St Brendan’s,
Peace and blessings to you all.
It gives me great joy to invite you and your loved ones to join us in celebrating the Parish Feast of the Immaculate Conception. This special occasion will be marked by our Family Mass, prepared in collaboration with our parish schools and families, as a sign of our unity in faith and community.
The feast will be celebrated across our parish centres on the weekend of Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th December 2025:
• Saturday, 6th December – 6:00 pm at St. Brendan’s Church, Somerville
• Sunday, 7th December – 8:00 am at St. Peter’s Church, Shoreham
• Sunday, 7th December – 10:00 am at Immaculate Conception Church, Hastings
Following each Mass, you are warmly invited to share in fellowship and food together. This is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our bonds as a parish family and rejoice in the blessings of our faith.
I look forward to celebrating with you and your children at this joyful occasion. May the Immaculate Conception inspire us all to live with faith, hope, and love.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Shymon Thekkekalathungal
Parish Priest, western Port Parish
Hastings, Somerville, Shoreham.
