Some COVID rules have changed and therefore this year, you may make donations for our Annual Food Appeal (left under the Christmas tree from this weekend until December 12th.) These will be used to pack Christmas hampers for the families who are struggling. Small gift tags are available at the doors of the Church over the next few weeks to give you some idea of the items required.

ANNA'S GROUP
Anna’s Group is open to all widows in our community. They meet on the second Friday of the month for lunch at The Coffee Club at Flockton Village, Everton Park. This group was formed to support each other during a time of challenge in one’s life. Those that have been widowed for some time share their ups and downs with those that might be adjusting to their new circumstances. Support, friendship and fellowship with a caffeine fix and a meal you haven’t cooked is a great way to welcome the weekend. Phone Dianne for further information on 0407616637. MENS GROUP

OUR ADVENT PREPARATION FOR CHRISTMAS, Celebrating the Forgiveness of our Sins
|
Why not celebrate our common Sinfulness and that God never ceases to forgive and show us mercy? On Thursday 9th December, 7pm, we will celebrate the Second Rite of Penance. How to do that?? All those who wish to celebrate are asked to consider their sins, (spend some time reflecting on “why do I do these things”) and write them and your answer down on a piece of paper BEFORE coming to church that night (DO NOT include your name!!). The basic structure of the Second Rite is: Introduction, Liturgy of the Word, Liturgy of Penance and concluding rite. During the Liturgy of Penance, you will process forward, hand your OPEN sheet of paper to Father, receive Absolution and return to your place. “… the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us…..But God proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. –
