Important Parish Message:

Dear Parishioners,
As you are well aware by now, Father
Michael has concluded his generous and
timely ministry with us due to his current
health issues.

We join together in sincerely thanking him
for his invaluable ministry of service within
our beautiful Brunswick Valley and environs.
We also join in prayerful hope for healthy
outcomes for Fr Michael and for his future
ministry in the Diocese.

With regard to Fr Michael’s absence, due to
the present unavoidable shortage of priests in
the Lismore Diocese, Bishop Homeming has
asked me to arrange adequate opportunities
for parish worship.

I have been given the assistance of
Deacon Anthony Gooley who along with the
ministry of several of our parishes’ Ministers
of Communion, will celebrate Liturgies of
the Word with Holy Communion.

I will also be celebrating Mass in the parish
during the weekend with other weekday
celebrations to be arranged when necessary.
Such Liturgies will be published in the Parish
Bulletin and website.

Once again, our parish has been challenged in
faith and in service. Please don’t ‘shoot-the
messenger’; please pray for Bishop
Homeming and please step up in faith and
loving service to each other.
Father David, Pastor.
