The family of the late Tim Fahey would like to extend a heart-felt thank you to all parishioners for their thoughts and prayers. Many thanks to Fathers Kevin and Bert and the wonderful parishioners who so often helped him and made him welcome. Very special thanks to the Legion of Mary. Tim was truly dedicated to his family and to living his faith, and was always delighted to live and celebrate this in our parish community. The kindness he received strengthened his resolve and we thank you for that. We are one in the spirit. Tim will be remembered at 10.30am Mass today followed by refreshments at Johanna’s place. Come along for a cuppa.

To enhance the hospitality and openness around our church, a new fence will be installed hopefully during the school holidays replacing the old cyclone fence and hedge. The high steel powder-coated fence in Heritage Grey will improve the safety for children.
