 ALL ATTENDEES - when arriving at the Church
On arriving at the church you will be required to present yourself to the Marshals.  You will be required to scan the 'Qld Check In App'.  Once the tick is shown please show this to the Marshal and you will be able to enter the Church and sanitise you hands.  We ask that you also exit by the assigned door of the Church as directed by the MC. On exiting you will again be asked to sanitise your hands.
Timing will be the key to the success of our entrance and cleaning protocols. You are expected to arrive at Church 15 minutes earlier and leave the Church soon after Mass finishes. This enables volunteers to clean all the touched surfaces. Thank you.

​In the meantime if you listen to your favorite music on Spotify did you know you can search for 'As One Voice' and then listen to all our favorite hymns?  Hymns are a form for prayer so you can be going about your daily routine listening to the hymns.  I find this very uplifting for my soul.  Keep connected with your God.

If you need help of any kind please do not hesitate to contact us at the office 3299 2000.           Parish Office
Reconciliation
Reconciliation is by private appointment with the Parish Priest.  Please call the office on 3299 2000 to make this appointment.

Children’s Liturgy takes place about every second Sunday during the 8.30am Mass.  We have a break during School holidays though. 

Children of all ages are welcome to attend.  We have two age groups:  (a) 2 ½ years to 6 years; (b) 7 to 11 years.  Each group has a Leader and there are usually helpers who assist the leader.

The children are taken from the Church, at the start of Mass, down to the Hall for their own special Liturgy.  They are brought back to the Church before Communion.They are held fortnightly,please view our Newsletter for current dates.
