Many thanks to our Lord for this all the blessings he has bestowed upon us throughout the last 70 years; for all the 7 Sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist. We thank Him for the diversity of people we have, a sign of the universal church; we thank Him also for the love, life and faith that we all share. We thank our Auxiliary Bishop Terry Brady and clergy for celebrating the solemn Mass with all of us on this memorable weekend. Their presence helps to make the day more special. We also thank our Parish Council and the dozens of generous volunteers who are working very hard preparing so many things for the liturgical celebration and the social celebration. Thank you to all who are contributing in small or big ways to make it a joyful, prayerful and wonderful celebration. God bless you all.

We had a great participation from many fronts. The Catholic school sent groups of children with a prepared reflection so they could pray according to their age. We had musicians, the Neo-catechumenal group and Apostolate of Renewal all helped to lead people with their prayers and reflection time. I would also like to share with you a News Flash of the event that was Published in the The Catholic Weekly

People said they loved it!
Many thanks to all those who came! Father Roberto Castillo

Christmas Carols & Sausage Sizzle 2017

parish_template — Tue, 09 Jan 2018 04:21:00 +0000

A Big Thanks to all our Volunteers

I would like to thank everybody who generously gave of their talents, time and energy for our SEVENTH year of Christmas Carols in the Church and the sausage sizzle that followed. I am truly grateful to you all. Thanks to those who worked on the decorations, sound and technical aspects of the Carols, musicians and singers and a huge thanks to all our hard workers and volunteers who prepared so well the 300 sausage sizzle and the subsequent clean up that followed. We would also like to thank the family who generously paid for most of the Sausage Sizzle expenses. Their generosity has enabled our parish to donate the money collected at the Carols evening to SVdePaul. So our parish has sent a cheque this week for $309.15 to SVdePaul. A visitor from a neighbouring parish said to me: “Father I felt love everywhere from everybody during the night!” So, again I thank you all for the outpouring of your love on that special night; making our Saint Therese a very special parish! Keep up the good work.

God bless you all, from Fr Roberto

Parish Luncheon

Thank you to all…

Once again our parish luncheon was a wonderful social event with our community coming together in friendship and faith to share a meal. The food was delicious and it was so refreshing to be entertained with some beautiful piano music and singing. Many thanks to Father Roberto and our Parish Councillors for organising such a wonderful afternoon. We would also like to thank those who generously donated money towards the lunch as it helped to partly subsidise the price we charged per head. And lastly, many, many thanks to all those who attended the luncheon, as you all made the afternoon so special by making new friends in our parish community and those who welcomed us at the Ryde-Eastwood leagues Club.
