NEW PARISH COUNCIL – WHY is it so important??
Thank you for those who have agreed to think seriously about being on our next Council. We would still welcome other expressions of interest. PROCESS: At the first meeting next year (February) the current Parish Council and possible new members will meet. “Possibles” will be given the opportunity to check out what’s involved. We will aim for a Council of 10-12 people with a balance of membership that reflects the make-up of our parish community. SOME IDEAS about what the new PPC may be fostering next year include:

HELP US REACH OUT TO THE SICK AND ELDERLY WHO CAN NO LONGER COME TO MASS
I am very conscious that in these times of COVID, there are some sick and/or elderly people who always used to come to Mass and can no longer do so. To ensure that they continue to really feel a part of our worshipping community, we are installing new AV equipment (a new screen that is clearer in all lighting, Cameras to broadcast our Mass into the homes, and technology whereby those in the church and at home will be able to see each other. It’ll cost about $35,000 – if you’d like to donate to help defray that cost you can do so with money in an envelope, EFTPOS/ Credit Card (at the office) or bank transfer using the button below.

CHURCH CLOSED DURING AV EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
The Church will be closed during the week Mon-day 30th Nov to Fri 4th December. This is the week where the new AV equipment will be installed. I’m sorry that any liturgies will not be celebrated during that week. I hope that the AV will be up and operational for the weekend 5th/6th December and maybe we’ll even have the computer people almost up to speed.
