REC News
Would you like to be more involved in our Parish?
We would like to invite our fellow Parishioners to join any of the various Ministries of our St Patrick’s Parish. We are reaching out for people to be Acolytes (can be male or female), Readers, taking up the Offertory, part of the Sanctuary roster, Home Communion etc.
Each of these Ministries is an integral part of an active Parish.
If you would like to become part of a team, you would be most welcome. Please see Father Joe, or a member of the Parish Council.
Altar Servers News
Again, we say a big thank you to our wonderful Altar Servers. It is great to see our children serving on the Altar especially our new recruits. We are witnessing siblings gently teaching and guiding their younger siblings in their duties associated with this ministry.
Holiday arrangements – remember if you can’t attend, please find a replacement.
We are still looking for a replacement on 14th September. If you can help please let us know.
Invitation to Attend
Archbishop Christopher Prowse will be visiting our Parish from 16th – 18th August.
On Saturday 17th August we will host a dinner to welcome the Archbishop and enable him to meet with our St Patrick’s Parishioners. The dinner will be held after the 5pm Mass. Details have not been finalised at this present time, but the planning is in the process.
We are issuing the Invitation for all Parishioners to attend. At the back of the Church, you will find a notice where you can place your name as an intention to attend. This will make our planning for the dinner easier to organise.
Please RSVP by 27th July
Term 3 Spirituality Day
Staff from St Patrick’s, St Joseph’s Adelong and St Mary’s Batlow will combine on the first day of Term 3 for our annual Spirituality Day. The theme for the day is the Holy Spirit. The day will be presented by CE Staff. This is a wonderful opportunity for the three schools to come together in a collegial and spiritual manner. This will be a great start for Term 3 for all Staff members.
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday. Rest up, enjoy and stay healthy and safe.
