CHURCHES OPEN FOR PRIVATE PRAYER
In light of the changing regulations and restrictions due to Covid 19, and with the guidance of the Archdiocese, Corinda Graceville Parish will be able to open our churches for private prayer at certain times next week (with restrictions of ten people). Please refer below for specific times and the protocols involved. |
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 |

NEW PARISH COLUMBARIUM WALLS
Our parish columbarium has been embraced and used by so many parish families, since it was first built in 2004. It is a sacred place, next to St Joseph’s Church, and is a most important part of our parish community and parish complex. Even though at a glance there appears to be many unused niches, most niches have been purchased and reserved by parishioners. Only a handful of niches remain available on the bottom row of the original columbarium walls. Therefore throughout 2019 the parish was planning and designing the construction of new columbarium walls. The project is now at the end stage, with landscaping, tiling and electrical works to be completed. If you wish to enquire about purchasing a niche in the columbarium, please contact Michael at the parish office 9am to 3pm Monday to Friday. |
