News from North Rockhampton
The weekend of May 25th and 26th the North Rockhampton Catholic Community welcomed Bishop Michael McCarthy to our Northside Parishes.
Bishop Michael presided at each of our Masses that weekend and joined with us to celebrate the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist. It was an opportunity appreciated by our community to be able to catch up with him and enjoy his company.
Bishop Michael presided at 5pm Mass at Holy Family and then Confirmed candidates at the Saturday Night Vigil Mass at Our Lady Help of Christians, 7am at St Mary’s, and 9am at Holy Family. Our candidates also received their First Holy Communion at these Masses.
It was wonderful to have Bishop Michael join with the candidates in each parish to cut their celebration cakes. He spent time with all of us as we celebrated with a Sausage Sizzle.
We thank Bishop Michael for joining with us at such an important time in the faith journey of our newly Confirmed Children. We offer our prayerful support and thank him for his continued support of our community.
That weekend we also got to welcome Fr Marcel back to our community. We look forward to hearing about his time home in India.
