Invitation to Prayer Team Information & Training

Saturday 2nd August | 10:30am | Egan Room

Have you ever felt called to pray with others? We’re inviting all parishioners to take part in Prayer Team Training as we prepare to launch a new Post-Mass Prayer Ministry in our parish.

This ministry will begin as a pilot program at OLR Church, but is intended to grow across all our communities. We’re looking for people who are open, compassionate, and willing to pray with others in a simple, Spirit-led way after Mass.

Come along to the training on Saturday 2nd August at 10:30am in the Egan Room to learn more, grow in confidence, and discern if this might be a way you can serve. All are welcome — no experience necessary, just an open heart. If you’re interested but unable to attend, or would like to know more, please contact the parish office and we will organise other options. Let’s grow a culture of prayer, hope, and healing in our parish — together.

You’re Invited to Parish Summit Day – “Curiosity to Encounter”

Parish Summit Day 

Saturday 23rd August | 8:30am – 3:30pm | Our Lady of the Rosary Church, Caloundra
Morning tea and lunch provided

You are warmly invited to our Parish Summit Day—a day for everyone in our parish to come together for renewal, reflection, and connection. This year’s theme, “Curiosity to Encounter”, invites us to move from faithful practice to personal transformation. We’ll explore how a flicker of curiosity can become a deep encounter with Christ. It’s a chance to reflect not only on what we do as Catholics, but on what God is doing in us—and how we might respond with joy and openness. The day will be filled with inspiring input, rich  conversation, shared prayer, and a renewed sense of where God is calling us as a parish community.

Whether you’re actively involved or simply seeking space to reconnect with your faith, this day is for you.

Come and be part of something life-giving. Come and be renewed. Register now by clicking HERE.

The next Ladies Lunch will be on Friday 15th August at 12 noon at Landsborough Hotel 32 Cribb Street Landsborough.
