News: Jubilee Year 2025 – The Good Ship Hope

The Church’s Jubilee tradition dates back to the year 1300, when Pope Boniface VIII declared the first Holy Year. Originally held once every 100 years, Jubilees are now celebrated every 25 years as special times of renewal, pilgrimage, and grace.

As part of this Jubilee year, a symbolic pilgrimage is taking place through The Good Ship ‘Hope’ – a beautifully crafted boat inspired by the official Jubilee logo. Designed and built by our talented Newman College furniture teacher, Peter Hayes, the vessel has journeyed across the Lismore Diocese, beginning at Cam-den Haven Catholic Parish and concluding at St Joseph’s Parish in Tweed Heads, before returning home to Newman College.

News: Hosting the Jubilee of Hope – Boat

Through the initiative of Fr. Paul Gooley, PP Port Macquarie, and with the Bishops blessing, a boat design has been used to symbolically represent the rivers, waterways and ocean in which many of our parishes exist aligning with the international symbol for this years Jubilee of Hope. The boat, through it’s journey south in the diocese will visit Byron Bay from Tuesday 9 September to Sunday 11 September, where it will be displayed at St Finbarr’s parish church. Further information as to how the parish will celebrate the boat with be forthcoming.

Important Parish Message:

Parish Mass Change.

Dear Parishioners, my sincere thanks for your patience with regard to our Parish Liturgies these last months since Fr Michael finished up his most generous and committed ministry in St John’s Parish. We continue to pray for his health and convalescence.

I also wish to sincerely thank Deacon Anthony Gooley for his valued and timely ministry in the Parish. His last Liturgy of the Word with Holy Communion will be at O.L.O.L. Brunswick Heads this Saturday 25th January.

From that time on, for the foreseeable future, the liturgy for Sunday Mass will be celebrated:

  • 5:30pm each Thursday at O.L.O.L. Brunswick Heads.
  • 8am each Sunday at St John’s Mullumbimby.

A precedent to celebrate Sunday Masses, other than the usual time, has already been set in several other parishes in the Lismore Diocese.

Please keep an eye on this Bulletin, as I also arrange other Pastoral Ministries including Reconciliation and Mass of Anointing.

Thank you for your continued support. Fr David Gilbey, Pastor.
