St Michael’s Family Parish Mass

FAMILY MASS – 17:30, SATURDAY, 9 NOVEMBER

All parishioners and school families are invited to a special Family Mass at 17:30 on Saturday, 9 November.

This Mass, an initiative by the Pastoral Parish Council and St. Michael’s School Leadership Team is a wonderful opportunity to deepen the connection between our beautiful parish and school.

Our parish and school are deeply linked, with each enriching the life and growth of the other. While many families are connected to our school, we’re excited to foster a stronger bond with our parish as well. The parish is a spiritual home for everyone, and through efforts like the Family Mass, we hope to nurture this connection, creating a lasting sense of belonging that extends beyond school years. Together, we can grow as one united spiritual family in Jesus.

This Family Mass is the start of an ongoing program of initiatives to nurture this lifelong relationship, so that every family feels at home in our parish well into the future.

Our children will play an active role in the Mass, ensuring an uplifting celebration. Afterward, we will gather for a BBQ in the Church grounds, offering a chance to connect, share, and strengthen our community ties.

Join us as we continue to grow together in faith and fellowship. We look forward to seeing you there!
