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 |

CHRISTMAS HAMPERS
This year we have 45 children for whom we will be supplying gifts with our Christmas hampers. We are grateful to the families of St Joseph’s School, Christ the King School and Julia Cummings Child Care Centre who also support our hamper efforts. Parishioners will notice gift cards near the sanctuary in each church, denoting the age and gender of the children who will receive presents. If you wish to participate, please select a card and return the gift to the church by Sunday 12th December, or to the parish office by Wednesday 15th December to enable hampers to be assembled.

SVDP CHRISTMAS APPEAL
The SVDP Christmas appeal is being held this weekend, and your generosity will provide funds for the local conference to carry out their role in assisting those in need. Since the beginning of this year, the conference has received about 300 calls for help, and provided about $40,000 in direct and in-kind assistance. Obviously we depend on you, our generous supporters, to enable us to reach out to the families and singles who turn to us. If you are able to help, we suggest that you deposit direct to our bank account, either online or at any branch of the Commonwealth bank: BSB: 064786 Account No: 100026057 Account Name: SVDP Christ the King and St Josephs Corinda Graceville, using your surname as reference. Alternatively, you may care to place an envelope clearly marked SVDP in one of the parish collection plates. SVDP envelopes are available in both churches, and you may return the envelope to the collection baskets within the next few weeks. Please supply your name and address if you require a receipt for your tax-deductible donation. |
