Altar Server Congratulations

At the end of the 9:30am Mass last Sunday, Fr Brian marked a special moment as Francine served for the first time as an altar server, with support from Emily-Rose. It was a great example of young people stepping forward to be part of the life of the parish.

If your child is interested in becoming an altar server, there is a simple process in place coordinated by Fr Gerard. We encourage families to consider this opportunity to be involved in the Mass in a meaningful way.

Open House Event – Divine Renovation

Our Lady of the Rosary Parish, Caloundra, invites parish leaders and members of parish communities to join us for a one-day gathering called Open House.

Open House is a chance for us to open the doors of our parish and share some of our journey of renewal. Shaped by our partnership with Divine Renovation Ministry, the day is less about presentations and more about hospitality—making space to connect, share what we’ve been learning, and hear from others. There will be opportunities throughout the day to hear stories, explore key ideas around parish renewal, and take part in

conversations that spark new thinking and encouragement. The aim is to create a space where people can speak openly, ask questions, and learn from one another.

The event takes place on Saturday 6th June from 9:15am – 4:15pm with an optional 5pm mass at Our Lady of the Rosary Parish, Caloundra.

St Vincent de Paul – May Initiatives

As the cooler weather approaches, the St Vincent de Paul Society invites our parish community to support two initiatives in early May.

Annual Winter Appeal (2–3 May)
The Winter Appeal assists local individuals and families who are struggling, with a focus this year on essential items like food and fuel. Your generosity helps meet these basic needs during a challenging time.

St Vincent ‘de Formal’ (Saturday 2 May)
Siena College will host the “de Formal” event, offering affordable formalwear for young people. Donations of clean, good-quality dresses, suits, shirts, and accessories can be dropped at the St Vincent de Paul shop in Caloundra (labelled “de Formal”).

Catholic Mission

Join Catholic Mission online to honour Mother Mary during the month of May through praying the World Mission rosary.

This beautiful tradition—created in 1951 by the Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen in the United States—was born from his desire to pray for the whole world, especially for those living in poverty.

Monday to Friday | 1 May – 31 May | 2PM – 3PM | Online via Teams

RSVP by 24th April online via Brisbane.admin@catholicmission.org.au
