With churches reopening to larger numbers, it has been a joyous time to reconnect with our Lord especially with reception of the Eucharist. Fathers Andrew and Simeon along with parishioners, have worked hard to ensure all mass centres were able to celebrate Eucharist within guidelines. Eventbrite has proved to be an effective registration system for us here in Gladstone. It was a welcomed reprieve for the priests and parishioners to have the congregation present.

Adult Formation - Genesis to Jesus

Parishioners are able to access this wonderful Adult Faith study - a special faith journey from Genesis to Jesus. The newest Journey through Scripture video bible study, streamed from St. Paul Centre, US. is a 6 week course to learn the basic Catholic principles for reading scripture.

A great opportunity for parishioners to gather and play scripture-based trivia. This works well for families with little ones who cannot get out at night and allows people to tap in wherever they may be located. The night is run once a month. We look forward to continuing this and other versions like it post COVID.
