Ignite Conference Bake Sale & 100 Board Winner – THANK YOU!
Thank you so much to everyone who supported our bake sale fundraiser last weekend. We are so grateful to everyone who baked, who helped with set-up, who bought something on the morning, or who simply donated. We raised over $2000 to go towards sending our group of 40 youth and young adults to Ignite Conference in September! We are well on the way to hitting our target fundraising amount and we couldn’t do it without you!
Congratulations to Steve Murrell who purchased lucky (and holy!) number 7 which was drawn by Fr Gerard as the 100 Board winner! Thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket.
Our next fundraiser is our annual car wash and BBQ on Sunday 4 August. There will be a $2 sausage sizzle after both the 6:30am and 9:30am Masses, with cars being washed between 7am–11am, for only $20 each. If you are able to volunteer to assist with either BBQ or car washing, please contact the parish office or the Youth Team via [email protected]
Please continue to pray for our youth as they prepare their hearts to journey to Brisbane for their own experiences of encounter! God bless, Felicity.
