COMMUNITY NEWS
Sacramental Journey 2019
Congratulations to the children who received their First Holy Communion on the weekend of 22/23 June. May the Grace of God strengthen you and your family as you continue to grow in the knowledge and love of God. Workshops for children receiving the Sacraments of Penance and Confirmation will be advised in the near future. All paperwork and registrations should already have been completed. Any queries, please contact Father Noy or the Parish Office MultiCultural Mass 2019 What an amazing and colourful community we have - gathering to celebrity our Lord and Saviour - the one God who unites us regardless of our heritage or cultural differences. Thank you to everyone who made this such a special celebration - for many the highlight was listening to the prayers of 14 different nations each spoken in their native language; for others it was the vibrant cultural dancing and singing, and for others, it was Father Noy's inspired message. St Patrick's Laidley - Centenary 2019 It is wonderful to see the whole parish joining in the history research, the recipe gathering and the conversations around special memories of St Patrick's Church. Commemorative green polo shirts are still available - $ 20 per child, and $ 25 per adult. A 25% discount applies for orders of 3 or more shirts. Archbishop Mark will be visiting the parish at the end of October, and the Centenary Mass will be held on Sunday 27th October, followed by a lunch and historical display. We are hopeful that past Parish Priest (now Bishop) Michael McCarthy will be able to visit the parish sometime during this centenary year. Keep an eye out for updates in the weekly newsletter. All members of our parish community are invited to be involved so that we can make this a very special year together.
