VOLUNTEERS IN THE CHURCH
A very big thank you to all the volunteers in our parish community. We cannot thank you enough for the gift of your time and talents. However, we are mindful that our parish priest and the entire pastoral team have the duty of care over our staff and over those who volunteer to support us in any way. We have carefully discerned that some are beginning to be burdened by their voluntary services. Recently, we have received a good number of brilliant recommendations in the suggestion box; part of it being the need to make some changes and to relieve some volunteers of their duties. Therefore, without prejudice to the excellent services of our volunteers, we invite anyone who wish to be relieved of their duties in the parish, especially those in the finance and pastoral committees of the parish to inform our parish priest as soon as possible. We do hope that any decision taken in this regard will rightly be understood as having been carefully made with prayer and discernment.
HOLY FAMILY YOUTH GROUP
A warm invitation to all the vibrant youth of our parish to join the Holy Family youth group. Those who are interested please contact the parish office.
CARD PAYMENT
Good news! We have now a card payment system after a lot of demands by parishioners who are cashless donors. This will be going to our hall building. Please, support this important project through this donation. Thank you.
SACRAMENT OF THE SICK
This is an important message to families in our parish, concerning any sick and housebound that needs the parish priest for visit and for the sacrament of the sick. Please call the parish office or send us email as soon as possible. It is better not left till the last minute.
THURSDAY SOCIAL GROUP
Thursday social group meet fortnightly from 2:00pm to 3:15pm in the convent. All are welcome to meet old friends and make new ones over a cuppa and chat.
Next meeting is on 17th April 2025.
DONATIONS
In view of the plan to build the Holy Family Church Hall, the finance committee members have decided that donations to the church will henceforth be directed to the church hall funding, except the donor advises otherwise. Thank you for every support so far.
