We give thanks to God for our successful Parish Cultural Day which occurred on Sunday Sept. 15th. Well done to the Parish Council for hosting, the Planning, Delivery & Volunteer Team for the doing and you, the parish community including our High School for their facilities/ground use, our visitors and supporters and our special guests for attending. Very special thanks to our Clergy Team who as priests with people, led us to witness to the Joy of the Gospel. By our differently, beautiful cultures, we cooked, sang, danced and prayed. "We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord! Share the Good News: "Take the love of God, with you as you go"!

Please pray for our Confirmation Candidates who have made their retreat last week and responded well to the whole day which included Adoration, Confession and Holy Mass. We give thanks to God for the blessing of being joined by the Confirmandi of St. Bartholomew's Catholic Church, Norbury. Together with their Catechists and Clergy it was a day of community as they all drew closer to Christ in preparing for His Gift of the Holy Spirit.

Are you interested in joining the Catholic Church? God has you in the palm of His hand and has a plan for you. You might be a wife or a husband and regularly go to Mass or take the children, but you yourself don’t take part, or you might be someone who’s been to a few Catholic weddings, Baptisms and similar and want to know more…? Alternatively, you might already be Catholic but have missed a Sacrament like Confirmation? You might just want to deepen your Faith, after all, it offers the beautiful treasures of “The Word” to see you through life and into eternal life. The Word is “Christ” and Christ, is yesterday, today and forever.

Make contact with the parish catechism team or contact the clergy.

You are welcome and warmly encouraged and will be supported by the clergy, catechists and parish community we are praying for you!
