Initiatives in the North Rockhampton
Our wonderful North Rockhampton Community of St Mary’s, Our Lady Help of Christians and Holy Family are STAYING CONNECTED
We have been doing a mass email mailout with the subject “STAYING CONNECTED”. We have been gathering and distributing correspondence from Bishop Michael, the Diocesan Office, Sr Kym’s ‘Take 2 with Jesus’, our Parish Bulletin, general information, Prayers, and activities for our smaller people.
Many in our community don’t have access to the internet. We have been phoning some of those Parishioners who in turn phone others etc. much like a phone tree. We have been sharing news with them and where possible getting some printed material to some of them.
Fr Marcel is exploring ways that we can reach out to our parishioners and help keep them engaged during this time.
He is keeping connected with parishioners, team coordinators, team leaders, hospital, prison, PPC, Finance team and schools through email and phone calls. Fr Marcel said “We understand that this is not a situation of our choosing but a situation that’s been given to us”
Parishioners are invited to send their prayer intentions so that during Mass Fr Marcel can remember them, pray for them and offer sufferings of this day to Jesus. He’d like parishioners to know that he cares about each one of you
