Father's Day collection
As we prepare to celebrate Father’s Day it is good to remember the Jesuit Fathers who have ministered to our Parish Community and to express our support through a collection on Father’s Day for the retired and sick Jesuits. To this end we will have a special collection on the weekend of 6 & 7 September. Envelopes will be provided should you wish to donate via bank transfer or credit card. All donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.
Jubilee Mass - An Evening of Hope
Save the date for our Parish Jubilee Mass on Saturday 13 September. There will be Reconciliation available as usual at 5pm, followed by a musical interlude at 5:30pm, with the Jubilee Mass at 6pm. More details to follow.
Long Table Dinner
On Saturday 11 October, after 6pm Mass, come along to a Long Table Dinner in the Parish Centre. Tickets are $5. Please contact Anne Schiller via Parish Office to book or for more information.
The Archbishop's Campaign Appeal
The 2025 Archbishop’s Campaign is now underway, and we ask everyone to consider a pledge to support the vital ministries of our Archdiocese. These ministries are outlined in the Campaign brochure which you will find in your pew and in the foyer. Tax-deductable donations go to the Archbishop’s Charitable Fund which supports the Corpus Christi College Building Fund, The Priests Retirement Foundation, John Pierce Centre, Melbourne Overseas Mission, University of Divinity Building Fund as well as Catholic community agencies and service organisations through annual grants. Non-tax-deductable donations go to the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne Religious Projects Fund and support seminarian formation and evangelisation ministries. Please review the campaign material and prayerfully consider pledging a recurring monthly gift. Tear off pledge cards are attached to the campaign envelopes in the church. You can also make a gift online at melbournecatholic.org/archbishopscampaign
