Celebrating Our Parish Volunteers
National Volunteer Week is Australia’s largest annual celebration of volunteers and volunteerism. Last year parishioners contributed thousands of hours of their time and talent in support of our mission and each other. This year’s theme, Connecting Communities, acknowledges the power of volunteering to bring people together in unity – something we pray for every time we celebrate Mass. Thank you to all our parish volunteers for your continued connection and immeasurable impact. Together we will enable flourishing lives, foster thriving communities, and build a Christ-centred future for all our communities.
