What a month of activities!!!

We started off with the National Evangelisation Team visiting our Parish. The NET team is a peer to peer youth ministry who visited our schools and shared their faith and love of God. They also led the music at our Saturday night Mass, gave a brief talk on their ministry and then stayed for the parish BBQ.

The same weekend we held our Springtime Fair, which creates a lot of work but is very rewarding on the day. A great morning of fellowship and fun was had by all who attended from both sides of the Parish and the surrounding community.

Fr Matthew left the Parish for the month of October to travel to Longreach and minister to the Western areas. We all felt part of this ministry as we received a day by day photo shoot from Fr Matthew. Fr Andrew Chase stepped in to our Parish and became part of our family very easily. We also had Fr Noel step in for one weekend. Thanks Fr Andrew and Fr Noel for ministering to our Parish.

Last Saturday we held our Angel Party, to celebrate the newly baptised members of our church. A fun time was had by all who attended and there was even angel food!!! Pretty good looking bunch of angels attended.

Last month 58 children celebrated the Sacraments, including Baptism, Confirmation and First Communion. Congratulations to all and may you always be led by the Holy Spirit.

We also had our newly formed Leadership Team commissioned by Bishop Michael. It was a privilege to have Bishop Michael here with us for the weekend.
