A reminder that the NET team will be at and involved in the 5:30pm Mass and be available afterwards for questions afterwards at our Sunday Supper.

We are encouraging all families to come along especially those with children aged 13-18 years of age.

They will be talking on the work they do through out the Diocese as well as information regarding the Youth activities that are coming up soon.

This is also the last weekend parishioners can sign the petitions of the Reproductive Health Care Reform Bill 2019 before they are sent off to the Upper House.  

If this bill is passed, it will make abortion legal up until birth in NSW, for any reason, as long as two doctors agree if the baby is more than 22 weeks old.

The petitions will be available to sign at both Masses on table in the Narthex.
