Our Mission
Our Mission is to continue growing as a community where people can meet Jesus Christ and grow in his life and mission in the Catholic Faith.
The spirituality our parish mission is expressed best in the parish prayer of St Therese of Avila.
Christ has no body on earth but yours;
no hands but yours;
no feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which he is to look out-
Christ's compassion to the world.
Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good.
Yours are the hands with which he is to bless others now.
​
​
OUR VISION
To be a Parish that is open and transparent, nurturing, united and inclusive.
To be a community that is welcoming, embracing and caring for families, youth and valuing cultural diversity.
To be a Parish that brings those who do not know Christ into relationship with him.

Welcome to this week’s PPC Post
​
-
Thank you to all EMHC’s and Acolytes who attended the Ministry Renewal Workshop last Saturday. Father Pierre led us in prayer and we had the opportunity to reflect on the gospel reading for the fourth Sunday of Lent. Those in attendance were able to ask questions and offer suggestions for parish procedures regarding the distribution of the Precious Body and Blood.
-
Cathedral sound system/Audio Visual update. Father Pierre Liz and I met with Chris from Totally Sound this week. More information to follow in upcoming weeks.
-
The PPC wish to congratulate the students from St Joseph’s, St Mary’s and the After School Sacramental Program who step into a deeper friendship with Jesus this weekend. Congratulations and we pray that you will always feel God’s merciful love and compassionate care in your lives.
FAITH EDUCATION
by Sr. Christine Clarke, PBVM
St Patrick: faith and conversion
​
In the opening paragraphs of the autobiography attributed to St Patrick (the Confessio), it offers a meditation on the gift of faith and the praise that we owe in return to God for such a gift. St Patrick’s evangelising zeal comes from knowing that he must speak to others of Christ:
That is why I cannot be silent – nor would it be good to do so – about such great blessings and such a gift that the Lord so kindly bestowed in the land of my captivity. This is how we can repay such blessings, when our lives change and we come to know God, to praise and bear witness to his great wonders before every nation under heaven.
Throughout the Confessio St Patrick speaks about his feelings of unworthiness and sinfulness, but he also recounts the story of his conversion and his change of life as an act of thanksgiving to God. Patrick teaches us that the Christian life is one of continual conversion, and that conversion requires a change of heart and a renewal of action in our lives. While the feast of St Patrick comes in the middle of Lent, it reminds us of our need for conversion and repentance.
Remember Christ’s call to conversion in your life; a call to conversion and change that St Patrick felt so strongly that he left behind everything he had and followed Jesus in order to bring the gospel to others.
