The Parish of St Brigid’s Gisborne, congratulates our 2025 Confirmation Candidates from St Brigid’s Catholic Primary School, Holy Cross Catholic Primary School and those preparing through St Brigid’s Parish Catechist Program. All the Confirmation candidates gathered at Holy Cross Catholic Primary School for a special Confirmation preparation day together. Bishop Rene Ramirez who will be conferring the Sacrament of Confirmation on the candidates on their special day, met with the children to talk about the importance of this sacrament in their faith journey. The Confirmation candidates will be presented in two masses next Sunday June 22nd at St Anne’s Church in Sunbury. We thank Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish for accommodating numbers that our church would not hold.

We wish the Confirmation Candidates well not only on the day but as they continue their spiritual journey and growth in their faith. 

St Brigid’s Parish Finance Committee

Several years ago, the Archdiocese of Melbourne put in place a requirement that all Parishes establish a PARISH FINANCE COMMITTEE (PFC)

Summary of the Role of the Parish Finance Committee and why we need one. 

The PFC is an advisory body to the Parish Priest (PP) and assists him in the task of administering the parish finances, maintaining the parish properties, planning for future capital works and raising thenecessary funds that sustain a vibrant parish. The PFC is a separate body from the Parish Pastoral Council, it does not report to it and is not directly involved in the day to day management of the Parish finances. The members of the PFC are chosen for their management, accounting, legal and/or financial expertise. They are chosen to work with the Parish Priest. Members chosen hold office for 3 years although they may be reappointed. Members are to be honest, known for their integrity and actively committed to the practice of the faith. Membership should consist of parishioners, including members of each of our school communities. There are approximately four meetings a year. 

Please contact Frank Murone, Parish Finance Committee on0418 995 010 to discuss any queries you may have for offering your services to the Parish Finance Committee.
