Children’s Liturgy - Praying with Children, 6th Sunday Easter, 22 May HERE
The Praying with Children material that we posted on our website during the Covid Shutdown is once more available. It can be accessed on our website each weekend. The download is a wonderful way of engaging children in the Sunday Gospel.

First Communion Enrolment
This weekend our children preparing for their 1st Holy Communion will be enrolled as candidates for the Sacrament of the Eucharist.
Praise the Lord - Two New Altar Servers
While we have many parishioners who volunteer for various ministries within the parish we have a serious lack of altar servers. According to the liturgical norms of the Church (rather than the Irish Australian tradition) altar servers are traditionally adults. That said, last week we welcomed two new and very keen servers from St. Bernadette’s, Sienna Bui-Rahme and Eoin Levin. More volunteers, adults or children, are most welcome. We need a full team trained up before the Archbishop comes to bless our new Parish Centre.
The Concrete Slab is Laid for our Parish Centre Gathering Space
The future centre of our parish hospitality now has a floor and solid foundations. The slab has been laid and in the weeks ahead you will see the steel framing and roof go up.

Parish Celebrations for
Pentecost & the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
This year our Parish is hosting the Banyule Churches Together closing celebration for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity on the Eve of Pentecost.
Because of the significance both of this event and the Feast of Pentecost it is hoped our wholeParish Community will come together for a special -
Vigil Mass for Pentecost
6.00pm on Saturday 4 June
at St. Bernadette’s
The Mass will be followed by refreshments in the Community Hall. As parishioners are encouraged to attend this special Mass, rather than the normal Sunday Masses on 5th June, the Masses on the Sunday will be “Low Masses”. That is, no music or homily. Please put this special celebration in your calendar now.
