Welcome....Our Parish strives to be a welcoming community that lives the Good News of the Gospel in its actions and programs. Whether you are looking for a new parish home, just visiting us for a short time, returning to the practice of your Catholic faith or are just wanting to find out more about the Catholic Church, our parish community are most happy to have you with us.
Through our parish we have the opportunity to grow spiritually and put our faith into action through giving some of our gifts of time and talents. We hope you will share your time and talents with us, your Parish family, friends and community, by participating in our various ministries, social services, activities and spiritual experiences. There is a wide range of activities (described in the Groups & Ministries section of this website), through which you may be able to do this. The amount of time and effort needed varies and there is something to suit many different life situations. There may be something that interests you. The opportunity is there for you to enrich your spiritual life in a practical way and to also increase your sense of belonging to our community. Please do not hesitate to contact the Parish Office if you need more information. May God Bless you and your Family, Fr Mark Percival, Parish Priest |
SACRAMENTAL PROGRAM - Journeying towards Confirmation:
On Tuesday evening a group of children and their families continued on their faith journey through engaging in a Rite of Illumination at St Joseph’s Hall. The Rite of Illumination is offered as part of the Corinda Graceville Parish Sacramental Program and is the first retreat in Confirmation preparation. This particular event allows the opportunity for the Confirmation candidates and their parents to reflect back and recall their Baptism and the commitments made. However it also goes deeper than this as all our young participants are asked to consider the light of Christ in their lives and that of others. They are called to treasure and honour that through their own actions and deeds. The photos barely do the moment justice suffice to say that this is a very special occasion for all participants.
With thanks to Anne, Dianne and the team from the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd for leading this beautiful reflection. The children will continue their journey with a six week preparation program commencing next week, culminating in the Sacrament of Confirmation being celebrated on Friday, September 10. Please remember these children in your prayers and thoughts over the next six weeks as they prepare to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation. Melissa Lonergan — Sacramental Coordinator.
