PARISH ENCOUNTER NIGHT – 6TH MARCH​

On Friday 6 March, our parish is hosting an Encounter Night centred on the theme “Who Is Your 7?” — a powerful invitation to reflect on the people God has placed around us to support and strengthen our faith.

The evening will also include worship, a keynote reflection, personal testimony, and time for prayer and adoration, with space to listen, reflect, and respond to God’s call.

We are blessed to welcome Deacon Peter Pelicaan as our speaker. Deacon Peter is the Executive Director of Archdiocesan Ministries, with a heart for evangelisation and helping people encounter Christ in a personal and practical way. With warmth, honesty, and deep faith, he invites others to reflect on how God works through relationships and community to draw us closer to Him.

All are welcome. Come for a drink, stay for worship, and be open to what God might be inviting you into this Lent.

Drinks from 5:30pm | Program begins 6:05pm | Register by clicking HERE

A Year of Yes Prayer

Today and every day I say Yes to you O Lord.
In the same way that Mary said yes to your invitation, I say Yes to your Son’s presence in my life.
May my yes, by the power of your Holy Spirit, allow you to use all the talents, skills and gifts you have given me for the purpose of building up Your Body in our community.
We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

 

On the Journey

We pray for Aoife Mary Bowles, Dylan Clemen and Bodhi Jordan Bengtsen who will be baptised this weekend at Our Lady of the Rosary Church, Caloundra.

We also pray for the souls of our deceased priests, religious and parishioners.

May they Rest in Peace.
