It is always exciting to see young people step up in service to the Lord.... there is nothing more precious than serving Our Lord on the Altar.
Last weekend we welcomed 12 new Altar Servers as they begin their liturgical ministry in our Parish. 11 were commissioned at the 10am Mass and 1 at the 5pm Mass.
Congratulations to James, Brian, Lukas, Anthony, Hannah, Julian, Meredith, Angel, Aidel, Sienna, Danielle and Robbie!
We pray that all our new Altar Servers, and their parents, will be abundantly blessed in this very special ministry!

On Friday the 17th August our Parish was honoured to welcome at 12noon, the Centennial Pilgrim Image of Our Lady of Fatima.
Fr Francis did the Re-coronation and Imposition of the Holy Rosary & Scapular. This was followed by placing of floral tributes from Student Leaders representatives from St Simon Peter School and Prendiville Catholic College. Year 4 students from SSP school also came over to recite the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary.
Throughout the day we said many decades of the Rosary, had Exposition and Benediction, the Divine Mercy Chaplet and silent adoration.
Sister Claire gave an insightful talk about the 'Urgent Call for Prayer'. This was followed by Holy Mass at 7pm where the parishioners received their scaplar and placed their floral tribute, then it was time to farewell our Lady at 9pm! Ave Maria!
