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

ST VINCENT DE PAUL CHRISTMAS APPEAL AND HAMPERS
Thanks to all those who have donated to our Christmas appeal. Envelopes are still available, so please take one if you missed out last weekend. Inside the flap you will find directions for donating by direct deposit to the local St Vincent de Paul conference bank account, or by credit card. You may also use the envelope to give a cash donation. Please fill out your details on the envelope if you want a receipt. Thanks also to those who took gift cards or hamper suggestions, and are planning to contribute to our Christmas hampers. If you decide to give a shopping gift card to our older children, we suggest that you place it in a small wrapped box, so that it does not get lost in the hamper! Just a friendly reminder, too, that all items need to be returned to the churches or the parish office by next weekend - 15th December - to enable us to pack the 46 hampers we are currently scheduled to distribute on 22nd December. REMEMBER TO RECYCLE FOR VINNIES
Drinking Bottles and Cans (not milk bottles or large wine bottles) can be left in the special bins with bright green lids positioned beside the Tennis Court Shed at Corinda (directly across from the parish car park in Clewley Street), and behind Christ the King Church (near the shed). Funds raised go to our parish St Vincent de Paul. An easy way to recycle your bottles and cans after Christmas functions, help the environment and help St Vincent de Paul to help others in need! Please make a regular habit of recycling your cans and bottles in the bins provided by the parish. |
