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 WINTER APPEAL
Next weekend the SVDP is holding our winter appeal. Your local conference works between Chelmer and Oxley, supporting those who are currently unable to cope with cost of living pressures, especially in a time when wages and benefits have not kept pace with the rising inflation rate. Among them are families and singles who are escaping domestic violence, those who are currently unemployed or whose physical and mental health prevents them from joining the paid workforce, and those given social housing, which comes unfurnished, but who do not have the resources to acquire the necessary items to make their new homes liveable. By donating to our appeal, and by continuing to pray for us, you enable us to keep providing this assistance. Financial assistance to the conference can be provided in a number of ways. Please refer to our latest parish bulletin for details.

PARISH ASSEMBLY - 16TH JULY
Our second Parish Assembly will be held on Sunday 16th July. This Assembly is the most important meeting for the year for us, a truly communal gathering in faith, hope and love. We are all asked to come together in St Joseph’s School Hall at Corinda at 11am for two hours, ending with a shared lunch. This year our lunch will also be an opportunity to acknowledge the 100th anniversary since the foundation of Corinda as a Parish back in 1923. Our Parish Assembly, now an annual event and community gathering for us in the Holy Spirit, seeks to give all of us a discerning voice in the future direction of our entire Parish. We will get updates on our Parish finances, hear about what has and has not been achieved over the past year of our Parish Plan, discern together our next steps forward and how we are to best progress God’s way for us as members of our Parish and of the Archdiocesan body of Christ. Lunch together will conclude our time. With this in mind, an invitation open to all Parishioners of our great Parish of Corinda Graceville, let’s take up once again our Parish Prayer. May this prayer, and our own prayerfulness, ready us to be receptive to the love and wisdom of the Holy Spirit that unites the many of us as one in the likeness of our Triune God, one in perfect love, respect and service. |
