During Father Matthias’ time here with us at Saint Mary’s, Clermont he has offered opportunities for the people on properties to celebrate Mass and get together socially.

Father travelled to “Llanarth”, property owned by Terry and Ros Kenny, where he stayed the night and celebrated Eucharist with them.

During the School holidays Father Matthias travelled out to “Recruit” where once again the people from the surrounding properties came and celebrated with Christy and Craig Moller.

He then visited Kay and Steven Mifsud’s property just outside Clermont where, once again people travelled from all around to celebrate Eucharist together.

Finally, on the 24^th September Father celebrated Mass at “Coovin” with Bernard and Marie Cook, family and friends.

The people who attended these Masses were very grateful to Father for giving them the opportunity to participate and come together to share in the Eucharist and time together afterwards.

On Sunday 13^th October, fifteen children were confirmed and received Eucharist at St Mary’s. Bishop Michael and Father Matthias presided. It was a very happy celebration.

During a get together with the parishioners after Mass, the children cut their celebratory cake which was shared among those present.
