On May 25th, parishioners came together to pray the “Living Rosary” at Sacred Heart Church, Yeppoon. A Living Rosary is when people are used to represent each bead of the rosary. Each person leads one prayer of the rosary. The aim of the Living Rosary is to unite people as one through prayer, and is widely practised all over the world. This was followed by joining together for afternoon tea and great fellowship.
The RCIA group who travelled the journey to Easter together, came together on June 2nd to celebrate over lunch.
On June 9th, we celebrated the feast of Pentecost, the birthday of the Church. At our Vigil Mass, we were invited to bring along a special candle (Baptismal, Wedding, Family) to place in the Sanctuary Prayer Space. With dimmed lights and all the candles alight, it was a special sight to behold and to help us reflect, as we celebrated Eucharist. It called to mind what the disciples must have experienced when the Holy Spirit descended on them and filled them with his gifts. The Holy Spirit waits on us today, to seek these very same gifts.
