Dear Prayer Intercessors
We recently changed to sending out our prayer requests via Flocknote and unfortunately we lost a lot of you on the transfer over from the old system. If you have not been receiving the weekly Prayer requests and you would like to continue receiving it, could you please send an email to the office asking to be added to the list. Thank you and I apologise for the hiccup. Regards Trish Harding.

A Year of Engagement
Lord God, I say yes to your will for me:
To live out my baptism in obedience to you.
As a member of our parish,
I commit myself to your mission of invitation:
To be vibrant like your Son, to extend myself in charity,
and to actively accompany people to encounter Jesus.
Who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen
On the Journey
We congratulate Brodie & Maddisyn Amsler, Ailani, Koa, Melia Wignall and Curtis Slater who will be baptised at Notre Dame Easter Vigil Mass this weekend. We also congratulate Matthew O’Shea who will be receiving all three sacraments Easter Sunday at Our Lady of the Way Landsborough.
We pray for all the families who have lost a loved one at this time, may their soul and the souls of our deceased priests, religious and parishioners Rest In Peace.
