19.01.2022 Everyone deserves a full life. Right now, aged care and support for older people in our community is subject to greater scrutiny than ever before. Governments must provide for sustainable aged care services, improve regulatory frameworks to ensure the quality of care and provide older people and their families with real choice and control over the services they receive. How will you use your Queensland State Election vote for the benefit of people of every age in our community? Consider the Common Good on October 31.

19.01.2022 Christ the King whatever you did for one of the least of my brothers, you did for me. Matthew 25:40 Most of us are generous when it’s convenient for us. We are generous when we have the time or the money. But, generosity is the opposite of that. It means giving of one’s time, money, compassion, forgiveness or mercy when it’s not convenient; when it’s not on our schedule, but on the other person’s schedule.

18.01.2022 Our Lady’s Gift Store has a variety of gifts available for purchase. Pop in after Mass to take a look at the beautiful statues, plaques, Willow Tree gifts, crucifixes and much more. Remembrance gifts for the sacraments of baptism, communion and confirmation are also available.

11.01.2022 First Sunday of Advent "Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time will come. - Mark 13:33 We all take things for granted. In particular, we take time for granted. We make our lives too busy. We plan our time, our days, weeks, months, even years in advance. Remember, our time on earth is a gift. None of us knows how long we will be here. Start today and begin thanking God through your Stewardship for each and every day. Take time in silence, every day, and listen to how God is calling you right now to help build His kingdom on earth.
