Registration will take place at the Family Fun Day and BBQ

Note from Fr. Bill
After many years of ministry as our Religious Education Coordinator and Catechist, Sharon Watts is passing this role on to another person. On behalf of the parish I express from all of us our deepest gratitude and thanksgiving to you Sharon for all of the many ways you have gifted and graced our children, youth, catechists, parents and wider parish. You have given us so many of your Sunday’s, weekends and other times to organize, recruit catechists, plan classes, create class lists, organize sacramental celebrations, and lead classes, workshops and retreats. There is so much more. You have done this with enthusiasm while delighting in the children and youth and with a faith that we are all inspired by.  Thank You!

I am also very grateful to announce that Lesley Lawlor has joined us as our new Coordinator for Religious Education for our children and youth. Lesley brings much experience of teaching religious education in the Catholic School system, parish leadership in adult faith ministry and most of all in her home. Next Sunday, Lesley, will be at the 11 am Mass to be introduced and for an opportunity for us to meet her. A warm welcome to you Lesley!!
