ST GREGORY'S RESTORATION UPDATE
Thank you for your kind donations we have received. We are moving forward with the crosses and to date we have received enough funds for the replacement and installation of one of the Crosses for St Gregory’s Church. I feel we need to replace the cross sooner rather than later. We will leave the second cross till a later date.
Any donation is gratefully accepted and If you would like to give a donation of $100 or more a small plaque will be engraved with your family name, and will be displayed near the old crosses that will find their new home in the church garden. We will keep you updated on the progress.
Plenary Council Snapshot reports
Plenary Council Update: ‘Snapshot Reports” have now been released so that we can see a sample of the voices and answers that inspired each of the six National Themes of Discernment. As you read the snapshots, you might find it helpful to keep in mind any suggestions that could be included in the parish goals for our upcoming Parish Pastoral Plan 2020-2022.

WELCOME HOME
The home of our faith is the Church, the place we come and pray, where we celebrate Mass, Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals, where we celebrate Jesus’ birthday and his resurrection. It is also the front door to our faith community that leads and invites people to come and explore, or where they can come and join in whatever gives them life.
