SCHOOL CONFIRMATIONS
We congratulate all Year 6 students who will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation on Thursday 1st August. May they be filled with the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit throughout their faith journey. We ask that you keep these children in your prayers.
The next HEALING MASS will be held on Saturday, 3rd August, from 1:30pm to 4:30pm. All are invited to attend the Praise & Worship, Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and concluding with the Healing Mass.
CAR PARK NOTICE
Dear Parishioners, as you are aware we have recently refurbished our car park which has enabled more car parking spaces and smooth traffic flow during school times. However one issue faced is that parishioners are not parking deep within the car parking bays resulting in reducing the space between the lanes for traffic to move causing delays and even minor accidents. Can I request you to please park your cars deep within the car parking bays so that the end of your car is inside the parking bay enabling enough space for traffic to move within the allotted lane space. Your assistance and co-operation is greatly appreciated.
Fr Vincent.
SUNDAY SCHOOL FIRST HOLY COMMUNION – SUNDAY 4TH AUGUST, 10:30AM
Parishioners, please note that children from St. Peter’s Sunday School will receive their First Holy Communion on Sun 4th August at the 10:30am Mass. Please be aware that parking may be an issue. We ask that you keep these children in your prayers as they prepare to receive our Lord for the first time.
