Upcoming Events
Archbishop Mark's Visit
Our parish is delighted to welcome Archbishop Mark Coleridge, who will celebrate the 9:30 am Mass on Sunday, 25 October, at the OLR church.
This will be a special opportunity to gather as a community of faith, give thanks to God, and welcome Archbishop Coleridge, whose leadership and pastoral care have meant so much to the Church in Brisbane. As we gather around the Lord’s table, we will pray for our parish, our Archdiocese, and all who serve the Church.
During his visit, Archbishop Coleridge will meet with parishioners and introduce his recent autobiography. We look forward to hearing more about his journey of faith and ministry. His visit will also give us an opportunity to greet him personally and express our gratitude for his many years of service to the archdiocese.
Please invite your family and friends to come along and share this special morning of prayer, conversation, and fellowship with our parish family.

This special celebration offers an opportunity to remember those who have died, give thanks for their lives, and find comfort in our shared faith in the resurrection.
