CatholicCare Victoria Food Donations

CatholicCare Victoria are now in need of further food staples to support asylum seeker families. Donations may be left at the Parish Office, Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 4pm. We will be arranging for CatholicCare to pick up donations after the first week of August.

Prayers for the sick and anniversaries

Due to privacy and space restrictions we are changing the way we list the prayers for the sick and anniversaries. We will now only read the names of those unwell for 4 weeks in the Prayers of Intercession at the Masses. We will keep their names in the bulletin so they can still be remembered in prayer but we ask that you let us know when their names can be removed from this list. All names for the bulletin intentions should be submitted to the office by the Thursday before for these names to be placed in the bulletin and the prayers for the following weekend.
