Second Sunday of Advent

WE ARE BACK ATTENDING MASS. WITHOUT LIMITS. WITHOUT BOOKING. WEAR A MASK IF YOU FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH ONE. YOU MUST ALSO QR CODE IN AND SHOW THAT YOU ARE DOUBLE VACCINATED BEFORE ENTRY TO THE CHURCH.
ALLOW TIME FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.

After nearly twenty-two months of almost no Christian Worship as a Parish Community, almost no chance for our Parish to reach out to the needy in our various communities, very little opportunity to gather as a Spirit-filled community to support each other, our Liturgy People have organised a “Parish Advent Initiative” under the guidance of the Holy Spirit in order to fill us with the Grace we need to get back up of the floor and continue the work of Jesus.

OUR VISION THROUGH THE SPIRIT

Note that it’s not neccessary to have attended the previous sessions in order to attend the final sessions.

You are invited to join our Parish Advent initiative – “Our Vision through the Spirit”. A journey of 3 sessions over 6 weeks where we join in prayer, scripture, reflection, discussion and personal commitment as we work together with the Holy Spirit to bring our Parish Vision to Action. Sessions will be conducted in the Parish Centre and you have a choice of day or evening sessions. Final day session will be 1.30pm Wednesday 15 December. Final evening session will be 7.30pm Thursday 16 December. Each session is planned for 1.5 hours. Please let the Parish Office know which session you would like to join – sunbury@cam.org.au or 9744 1060. We look forward to seeing your smiling eyes.

PARISH CHILD SAFETY POLICIES

Three years on and we’ve updated the policy of Catholic Archdiocese of
Melbourne.

Click on the image below to be taken to the Code of Conduct Declaration that needs to be signed by all volunteers and workers in the parish.

NOTE: Some people have reservations with some of the ambiguous wording in this document. Particularly where it says “Ensure that an adult is never alone with a child or young person…“

If you go to the Policy document on page three you will find the context for that and other statements:

Safeguarding children and young people within the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne.
The application of this policy extends to clergy, employee and volunteer behaviour within the context of their role within the Church:

What this means is that you are still able to babysit your grandchildren, drive them and their friends to school, talk to the kids next door on their way home from school, etc. Just as before.
