Support our St Vincent De Paul Conference
Earlier this year, access to low-cost nonperishable food for our pantry from Food Bank Victoria was lost due to insatiable demand. Demand from families in need within our community is also high and supporting them with pantry food made a difference. Our pantry is empty. To highlight the need and provide an opportunity for parishioners to contribute nonperishable food items for our pantry, a basket is located at the rear of the Church.
Daylight Saving Time Changes
On Sunday 5th April, eastern daylight savings time ceases. Therefore Saturday night Masses will move from 6pm to 5pm.
