SACRAMENTAL ENROLMENT MASSES

Next weekend 8th/9th and the following weekend 15th/16th August the Saturday evening 6:00pm Mass and Sunday morning 9:00am Mass will be Enrolment Masses for First Holy Communion and First Reconciliation.

Due to these Enrolment Masses, for these two weekends ONLY we will offer an additional Mass on Sunday at 7:30am. So that we are not over our capacity, we encourage as many Parishioners as possible to attend 7:30am Mass on both these weekends.

ST ANTHONY’S 60th ANNIVERSARY

In June next year we will celebrate the 60th Anniversary of St Anthony’s Parish and the arrival of the Salvatorian Priests in Australia. This will be a big celebration for the Parish and we need to start getting ready now.

We are looking for ideas on how to celebrate this milestone and also for Parishioners who would like to join the Diamond Jubilee Committee a meeting will be held this Wednesday 5th August at 7:00pm in the meeting room.
