5.30 Mass on Sunday evening is a LifeTeen celebration of the Eucharist open to all youth and young adults in the Deanery. Many families and older parishioners are enriched by these celebrations and come regularly. LifeTeen aims at introducing people to Christ through the celebration of the Eucharist.
We are always keen on involving more in the ministries at this mass and the events organised for the young parishioners to deepen their appreciation of and commitment to their faith.
Hospitality is one of the ways that “parishes are welcoming, inclusive communities to which people are drawn and have a strong sense of belonging”. We have a team of parishioners to organise morning teas after the 8am Mass each Sunday. If you would like to be a part of this Hospitality Committee, please talk to one of our team members at the morning teas or email clayfield@bne.catholic.net.au
Are you available to provide assistance to your fellow parishioners? You can give us as little as half an hour a month: everything helps. Some of our parishioners are no longer able to get around and look after themselves – something many of us take for granted. This might be as little as picking up some shopping. This ministry is something well suited to teenagers looking for some way to help – a young face can light up an old face or give a boost to those struggling in one way or another.
Care and Concern is a parish based group of volunteers who respond to the needs of our local community in a Christian, neighbourly and practical way. We exist to provide service in areas such as visitation, shopping assistance and transportation.
There is perhaps no ministry more in tune with Jesus’s call to us. Nothing speaks more of a community than how it cares for its older members. They have done their part – it is time to say “thank you”.
If you are interested in joining or able to contribute some of your time to this worthy ministry please contact us to find out more.
