23.01.2022 Statue of Saint Patrick The day before the Solemnity of Saint Patrick, the Statue arrived back in St Kevins Church, having been lovingly renewed by Daniela Talassi. The before and after photos show the difference and how the statue has been saved from further deterioration. On the inside of the statue was written in someones hand 1946. Presumably, this is the date it was cast in Ireland before being brought to Australia. It was in the old Church in Hendra Parish until their new Church was built, after which it was put in storage. Later, the statue was given to Geebung Parish.

15.01.2022 Catholic Mission Church Appeal Next weekend, 29th & 30th July, our parish will be holding the annual Catholic Mission Church Appeal. This year we are invited to participate in Jesus life-giving mission, supporting women and childrens health in Uganda. In Uganda bringing life into the world is often fraught with danger, with many women taking great risks to reach health facilities. Despite the tireless work of Sister Mary Goretti and her small staff at St Luke Bujuni Health ...Centre, they do not have the capacity to deal with the influx of high-risk pregnancies amongst the many expectant mothers who come through the doors. Your generosity makes it possible for local missionaries like Sister Mary Goretti to provide essential services for women and children in their time of need. Please come prepared next weekend and give generously. Freecall: 1800 257 296 catholicmission.org.au/Uganda See more

15.01.2022 World Day of Prayer March 2018 SURINAME All Gods Creation is Very Good!

15.01.2022 St Kevins Diamond Jubilee In 1959, Archbishop Duhig came to tell the Catholic People of the Geebung area that he was establishing a Parish right there on the block where they had gathered on August 1st. They gathered infront of the old farmhouse which stood on the former pineapple farm to hear that their days of travelling further afield to Mass were over ! Soon, the first Masses were held in the RSL Hall down the hill, as there was no suitable place for Mass on the site.Alm...ost 60 years to the day later, we gathered on Sunday, August 4th to celebrate the Mass of Jubilee and then later to celebrate at the Jubilee Luncheon at the RSL Hall which has been replaced with a more recent building. But we were still on thespot where the original parishioners prayed together before the Church/School was built. We were blessed to have with us about 6 of the parishioners who were there on August 1st, 1959. It was a glorious day of gentle, sunny weather, meaningful liturgyand happy memories and fun at the luncheon. To God be the glory for all He has done for us in these 60 years of grace. We were very blessed to have Bishop Ken Howell, together with Fr Aidan Carvill celebrating our Holy Mass of Diamond Jubilee.

05.01.2022 Carolling at St Kevins Last Sunday evening St Kevins parishioners gathered around the Crib in the Church to take a break from the busyness of this time of the year and refocus on the true meaning of Christmas; the birth of Jesus. We listened to readings about that event which took place over 2000 years ago and heard the stories of two people who were intimately involved in that event, Mary and Joseph. After the readings all joined in the Carol singing. The evening finished... with supper in the hall. On Monday night, about a dozen parishioners visited John Wesley Nursing Home to sing Christmas Carols. As we walked around the complex singing Carols two of the residents joined us and a number of others were seen joining in as we passed their rooms. Christmas Mass times are: Christmas Eve: 5.30PM Carol singing, 6PM Mass. Christmas Day: 8.00AM Carol Singing, 8.30AM Mass.

02.01.2022 Parish Novena Today, 31st July, St Kevins Parish begins a Novena (nine days of prayer) invoking the intercession of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop as we approach her Solemnity on Tuesday August 8th. Gospel Reading - John 15:16. You did not choose me, no I chose you. And I appointed you to go out and bear fruit, fruit that will last.... Reflection: What is Gods invitation to me in my life at this time? Novena Prayer: Ever generous God, You inspired Saint Mary MacKillop to live her life faithful to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and constant in bringing hope and encouragement to those who were disheartened, lonely or needy. With confidence in your generous providence and through the intercession of St Mary MacKillop, we ask that you grant our request (here name your petition). We ask that our faith and hope be fired afresh by the Holy Spirit so that we too, like Mary MacKillop, may live with courage, trust and openness. Ever generous God, hear our prayer. We ask this through Jesus Christ. Amen
