Father Behr writes:

The month of June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  We celebrate the Solemnity on Friday 12 June with Mass at 10am followed by Adoration, Rosary and devotions. Why not come to Mass on this special day and draw close to our Lord, who is so close to us in his true presence in the Blessed Sacrament.

May the heart of Jesus, in the Most Blessed Sacrament, be praised, adored, and loved with grateful affection, at every moment, in all the tabernacles of the world, even to the end of time. Amen.

Admirable is the Name of God!

Fr Behr

Parish Annual Meeting 3 July at 7pm.

 As part of our 75 Anniversary celebrations, we are having a parish meeting with cheese and wine.  During the meeting our parish finance committee will give us a presentation reviewing the income and expenditure from 2025.

We will also have an opportunity to celebrate all the work various groups do for us in the parish.

If you have any questions about the parish or topics you would like us to discuss please let me know.

Fire Safey Drill

I’m grateful to Rob and Isabella for organising our fire drill.

We have a Fire Drill on Saturday 6 June at the end of the Mass and on Sunday 14 June at the end of Mass.
