Our Mission
Our Mission is to continue growing as a community where people can meet Jesus Christ and grow in his life and mission in the Catholic Faith.
The spirituality our parish mission is expressed best in the parish prayer of St Therese of Avila.
Christ has no body on earth but yours;
no hands but yours;
no feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which he is to look out-
Christ's compassion to the world.
Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good.
Yours are the hands with which he is to bless others now.
​
​
OUR VISION
To be a Parish that is open and transparent, nurturing, united and inclusive.
To be a community that is welcoming, embracing and caring for families, youth and valuing cultural diversity.
To be a Parish that brings those who do not know Christ into relationship with him.
Diocesan Assembly Prayer
Loving and faithful God,
As we walk along the road of our lives, help us to recognise that you are with us.
Stay close to us. Open our hearts when we hear your word.
In the blessing and breaking of the bread and of our lives together, help us to recognise you and know that you are near.
Fill us with your Spirit and joy, so we may go and share your Good News.
Send your blessing on all the people of our Diocese
as we prepare for our Assembly in August.
May your Spirit of wisdom inspire and guide all our conversations and gatherings.
May your Spirit of living communion unite us more closely in our parishes and diocese.
May our walking together be fruitful and be a sign of your presence in our world.
Amen.
Our Lady of the Way – Pray for Us
St Joseph, Protector of the Church – Pray for Us.
FAITH EDUCATION
by Sr. Christine Clarke, PBVM
The Season of Easter
Easter Sunday was also the first day of the Octave of Easter. The fifty days of the Easter Season run from Easter Sunday until Pentecost. We hear again and again the words of every preface: We praise you with greater joy than ever in this Easter season, when Christ became our paschal sacrifice.
Another way to understand the Easter season is to consider it as an overflow of the Vigil and a time for unfolding the Easter mysteries. During these fifty days the Church continues to instruct the newly initiated about the faith which they have embraced.
At the same time all members of the community are called to reflect on the meaning of their own baptism and to celebrate the conversion which has happened during Lent. Together we focus on living our faith, on the meaning of the eucharist and the power of the Spirit in our lives, the challenge to respond to ministry in the Church, and our responsibility to witness to the risen Lord in the world.
The central symbols of water and light are used throughout the fifty days. The paschal candle is placed near the ambo or altar until Pentecost and is lighted during liturgical celebrations to remind us that Christ is indeed our light.
The fifty days of the Easter season are “the days for singing the Alleluia”. The Easter season liturgies proclaim the resurrection of Christ and celebrate our new life in Christ.
