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 |

ROSARY BEAD MAKING WORKSHOP
Our Rosary Bead Making Workshop is to engage our children and young people in a fun, tactile and informative way about the Rosary. It will be held at 6.30pm Thursday 28th October at the Parish Centre, 19 Randolph St, Graceville. It’s a very simple yet symbolic way of connecting our children with our faith and helping them to learn more about the Rosary in general and how prayer can be an opportunity for reflection and meditation. More than ever it is important to help build resilience and create time and space for our children and young people for periods of quiet in our busy and sensory filled world and environment. This activity will allow the children to make their very own set of Rosary beads. These rosary beads will be unique and individual to each child that participates as they will be able to choose from a range of bright and colourful beads. |
This event will coincide with the Catholic Church’s designation of October as the month of the Rosary as well as Queensland’s Children’s Week. We have been very fortunate to secure support from Children’s Rights Queensland to run this workshop and to also offer information to all attendees regarding the Archdiocese safeguarding policy and how we as a Parish help children feel respected and protected. Our local Safeguarding Representative, Veronica Maladina will also be joining us. RSVP for the workshop via email to Melissa Lonergan at sc.corindagraceville@bne.catholic.net.au by October 22.
ALL SOULS
Our Parish All Souls Memorial Mass will be celebrated at St Joseph’s Church, Corinda at 7.00pm on Tuesday 2nd November. At this Mass we remember all of our loved ones who have passed away, but in a special way we pray for all of our parishioners who have died in the past year. A Scroll of Life with the names of those members of our parish community who have died in the last 12 months and the reading of the names will be part of our Parish Memorial Mass. You are also invited to bring photographs of your deceased loved ones to the Parish Memorial Mass and place them on the table near the Baptismal font before Mass.
Once again this year, due to COVID-19 restrictions, we will not be writing the names of our deceased loved ones in the Book of Life during November. A memorial card (to replace the Book Of Life), can be used to enter the name/s of your deceased loved ones. From the weekend of 23rd / 24th October this card can be collected from the Perspex stands at the doors of the church, and when filled in can be brought back to church over following weekends.
