Forty Hours’ Devotion: we will celebrate the Forty Hours’ Devotion this year from Friday evening, 28th February, to Sunday 2nd March (Quinquagesima). In the next week or so, a roster will be made available online, so that Parishioners can commit to periods of adoration. This devotion is also an important opportunity to offer prayers of reparation, and of petition for our spiritual and temporal needs.

Ordination of Anthony Ike: Warmest congratulations to Anthony Ike, former parishioner and seminarian of the Fraternity of Saint Peter, upon his call to major orders. He will be ordained Sub-deacon on 22nd February and Deacon on 5th April this year. Anthony is a beneficiary of our Seminarians’ fund and we anticipate a visit from him later this year.

Seeking Witnesses: A married couple of the parish, Monique and Tomas, were involved in a minor car accident following the 8:00am Sunday Mass on Balaclava Road last year: 28 July 2024. Another vehicle rear-ended their car just outside the parish front entrance. The car insurance company is now requesting witness statements from any parishioners who might have seen the accident. If you are able to provide a brief witness statement, please contact Monique (0415 948 328) or Tomas (0449835 190) for details.
