WEEK AHEAD

 

 

 

FAREWELL TO FR. GREG

Our Parish has become quite expert in saying Farewell to our Priests over the years. Now it is time to say "Farewell" and "Thank You" to our Parish Priest, Fr Greg Bourke. We have had 7 years of Wonderful Leadership with Fr. Greg, and he is going to be sadly missed by all of us.

 

To show him how much he is loved and cared for, we will be taking donations to give him something special. Over the weekends of 11/12th Sept and 18/19th Sept there will be a 3rd collection at each Mass to enable everyone who wishes to contribute to Father's Farewell gift. Donations may be put in an envelope marked "Fr. Greg's donation" or loose. We will have a farewell "do" for Father sometime closer to the time of his leaving us.

 

PARISH HISTORY

We are endeavouring to put together a comprehensive History of St Peters. At our last Parish Council gathering, all groups were asked to document their history and submit it to the Parish Office by no later than Nov 11th 2010. If your group wasn't in attendance at the last meeting please take note - We would also like some personal memories of the Parish from Parishioners who have been here for a long time. Or, if you were in a group that no longer exists and it was an important part of our Parish we would greatly appreciate your input. Also photos that we can copy to add to the history would be great. Any queries please phone Bernice on 9749 2812.

 

NEW OR USED BIBLES

St. Peter’s Prison Ministry is collecting new or used bibles to be given to prisoners to help them in their faith journey.  If you are able to help, please place the bibles in a box provided for this use in the church hall.  Thank you.

 

MULTICULTURAL MASS 2010

Our 2010 Multicultural Mass will be celebrated on Sunday 31st October at the 10:30am Mass. The host nation this year is Australia. We are a young nation and are proud of our multicultural identity. Our history is also rich and unique. To make this another Spirit filled Liturgy and memorable celebration, we need 2 representatives from every cultural group in the parish and 1 member from every Parish Group to begin planning and organising! Our next meeting will be held on Thursday 16th  September at 7:00pm in the small meeting room off the hall. We hope to see many of you there. Thank you!
