24.01.2022 Youth Groups are returning in term 3. There will be a couple of changes to youth groups including a 5pm start for East Maitland and a new location for Monday night youth group.

23.01.2022 At Masses this weekend we acknowledged NAIDOC Week to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

22.01.2022 We are keeping Year 12 students in our prayers today as they begin HSC Trial Exams today.

22.01.2022 Tonight we welcomed back our Largs Youth Group. We had lots of fun making cloud dough and playing games together.

22.01.2022 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone and circumstances have made it even more important for us all to stay connected. R U OK?Today is the national day of action when we remind Australians that every day is the day to ask, Are you OK?

21.01.2022 We have had a wonderful week sharing faith and fellowship with the young people of our region. A special thanks to our volunteers who help in so many ways to run this ministry and for their generosity in sharing their time and gifts. We look forward to seeing you all at Kids Mass on Sunday, 6pm at St Joseph’s East Maitland.

20.01.2022 What a speech by Pope Francis yesterday! Worth a read regardless of your faith *You can have flaws, be anxious, and even be angry, but do not forget that you...r life is the greatest enterprise in the world. Only you can stop it from going bust. Many appreciate you, admire you and love you. Remember that to be happy is not to have a sky without a storm, a road without accidents, work without fatigue, relationships without disappointments. To be happy is to find strength in forgiveness, hope in battles, security in the stage of fear, love in discord. It is not only to enjoy the smile, but also to reflect on the sadness. It is not only to celebrate the successes, but to learn lessons from the failures. It is not only to feel happy with the applause, but to be happy in anonymity. Being happy is not a fatality of destiny, but an achievement for those who can travel within themselves. To be happy is to stop feeling like a victim and become your destiny's author. It is to cross deserts, yet to be able to find an oasis in the depths of our soul. It is to thank God for every morning, for the miracle of life. Being happy is not being afraid of your own feelings. It's to be able to talk about you. It is having the courage to hear a "no". It is confidence in the face of criticism, even when unjustified. It is to kiss your children, pamper your parents, to live poetic moments with friends, even when they hurt us. To be happy is to let live the creature that lives in each of us, free, joyful and simple. It is to have maturity to be able to say: "I made mistakes". It is to have the courage to say "I am sorry". It is to have the sensitivity to say, "I need you". It is to have the ability to say "I love you". May your life become a garden of opportunities for happiness ... That in spring may it be a lover of joy. In winter a lover of wisdom. And when you make a mistake, start all over again. For only then will you be in love with life. You will find that to be happy is not to have a perfect life. But use the tears to irrigate tolerance. Use your losses to train patience. Use your mistakes to sculptor serenity. Use pain to plaster pleasure. Use obstacles to open windows of intelligence. Never give up .... Never give up on people who love you. Never give up on happiness, for life is an incredible show.* (Pope Francis).

11.01.2022 At youth group on Tuesday evening we spoke to the children about how each member of the Church has something to offer in building the kingdom of God.

Being actively engaged in the work of the kingdom, at any level, will bless our lives and provide growth in countless circumstances.

05.01.2022 Tonight Fr.Paul gave our Father’s a special blessing.For those who were not able to attend scroll down to read the blessing. Blessing Prayer for Father’s Day by Greg Sunter... God of Kindness and Compassion, we are your children and you are Father to us all. We give honour and thanks to those who reflect your fatherly example: those who are dads and grandads; step-dads, foster dads, godfathers and fathers-in-law; those who are coaches, leaders and mentors; and those who are elders and wisdom-men of our communities. We look to these men for strength of body and strength of character. We look to them to pass on skills and pass on stories. We look to them to protect and provide. We look to them for care and compassion. We look to them to be co-creators and stewards of the world. For all those who embrace their role as father, we give thanks. For those who struggle with being fathers, give them strength. For those who are distanced from their children, give them comfort. For those who have passed from this world, give them peace. Bless these men that we call father. Bless them in their strength and in their weakness. Bless them in their joy and in their sorrow. Bless them in their work and in their play. And bless them, Father, for being fathers. We make this prayer through the one who taught us to call you Our Father: Your Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ Amen.
