Parish News

This weekend, in the Church, we celebrate First Eucharist for our Grade 4 children at all masses.  Please keep these beautiful children in your thoughts and prayers as they come to the Table of the Lord for the very first time.  A very special moment on their religious journey.  A huge thank you to their parents, Marianne, teachers and everyone else who has help make this a special day in their lives.

Father Arsenio will be going on leave from 17th June for about 2 weeks to visit his family in the Philippines to celebrate his “60th Birthday”.  Congratulations to Father and we wish him safe travels and best wishes as he celebrates this special birthday.  We will have Communion Services in the Chapel on Wednesday 24th June and 1st July.  Father John will still celebrate our Friday 9.15 am masses and also our weekend masses during his absence.

Winter Shelter continues to be held in the Community Centre from 4.30 pm Fridays till 9.30 am Saturday mornings.  Please note that during the winter months until the last weekend of August, Saturday 6pm masses will be held in the Chapel.

Enjoy the week ahead and again congratulations to our First Eucharist children.

Blessings from the Parish House.
