Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the first Anniversary of Our Lady of Good Heath

Friday the 6^th of September, we celebrated the first anniversary of the statue of Our Lady of Velankanni (Our Lady of Good Health), as we celebrated the Birthday of Mother Mary. We were visited by Very Rev Father Matthew Moloney the Director of Clergy Life and Ministry who offered the Mass for us. 

Sadly, we also farewelled the Pindo family who are relocating to the Gold Coast.  The Pindo family kindly gifted the statue of Our Lady of Velankanni to the St Patrick’s Blackall community last year.  We are grateful to the Pindo family for the gift this statue is to our Parish and also thank them for generously donating the food for our celebratory lunch. We shared a meal with the Parish community of cake, sausage sizzle and drinks. We wish the Pindo family the best for the future. I sincerely thank Father Mathew for being with us to have a fantastic celebration and I also thank the school and staff for participation in the Mass.
