The parish will be very quite during January as many take leave and enjoy holidays. We are planning the opening of the parish year Mass for 2009 on the weekend of the 7th and 8th February. This weekend will mark the commencement of our parish activities for the new year. Please mark this date on your diary. During January: · Until the early February, regular ministers (Readers, Leaders, Eucharistic Ministers, and Altar Servers ) are asked to check in the sacristy before Masses to ensure that we are covered for these essential roles in our celebration of the Eucharist. · There will not be a weekend newsletter during January – if you want something brought to the community’s attention, please leave a note at the Parish House or email olgcbrendan@bigpond.com · Counters, Bankers and Flower rosters will continue.
