We will visit the Pioneer Village, Spring Bluff Railway Station and other attractions as time permits. We have chosen this town as a way of giving back to the community, because of the fires and drought.
The bus will leave at 7.30am from the car park of the Queen of Apostles Catholic Church, Appleby Road, Stafford. Cost is $55 which includes morning tea, lunch and tour. For bookings and enquires contact Julia 33556560 or mobile 0467680551 or Carolyn on 33568223. |
BUSHFIRE APPEAL
Once again our parish has shown they can “walk the talk” with regard to looking out for those who have suffered or are in need. The amount you have given to the Bushfire Appeal is $19975. Our local Vinnies will transfer the money to the local Narooma/Bermagui/ Cobargo Conference to distribute according to needs. The members of the Conference are soooo impressed. On Monday, they did calls to 26 families, Tuesday was 18. An average for our Conference on any one day is about 4. This gives us an idea of how well our Appeal funds will be used. from Stafford Vinnies with thanks.
