Rite of Reception

      Christian Taylor is confirmed                         Jodi & Cooper Herwig with Fr John

The Rite of Reception into Full Communion of the Catholic Church was celebrated for a number of candidates whose reception into the Church was cancelled and delayed from the Easter season. We all know the reason why! During this last week we have welcomed our baptised candidates into our Church through this rite. We welcomed Christian Taylor, Gail Norris, Miranda, Glen and Grayson Kirkland, and Jodi and Cooper Herwig. They were so excited to finally feel and smell the newly-blessed chrism and receive the Body and Blood of Christ for the first time. I’m sure the gathered assemblies felt excited too to see this part of the sacramental life of the Church returning.

Farewell Raquel

It is with much sadness that we say “Goodbye” to Raquel, our quietly-efficient, powerhouse receptionist. Raquel has been with the Parish Team for not quite two years and in that time has made everyone who contacts the office feel welcomed, has done wonders with our Facebook and website pages, while at the same time studying with CQU for an Accounting degree. She’ll be greatly missed.

Chaos Reigns in Youth Groups

What’s happening in our Youth Groups? They continue to enjoy gathering each week to not only build relationships with each other but to find ways of building a relationship with the Father. Each week focusses on the Sunday gospel and last week the Chaos group of primary school children brightened up the centre with chalk messages, spreading a bit of love.
