FLORAL DISPLAYS
We gather at Mass to give thanks for the gift of life; as a community to celebrate our commitment to follow the example of Jesus in word, deed and service’. To create a ‘welcoming space,’ Fr Joe suggested we introduce flowers to our church. Mindful that our parish is blessed with a people who have a wide variety of skills, the Care for Creation Group approached Mrs Edna Lindsay, to help with the project. The brief was for a floral arrangement suitable for ‘Ordinary Time’ using materials that could be repurposed. Edna generously responded to our request for help. The artificial flowers will ‘bloom sustainably’ throughout the year, reflecting the beauty of creation. Thank you, Edna for gifting your talent to our community! MEN'S GROUP CUPPA
THIRD Friday (19th July) 10.30am-12noon The GIBSON (NEW venue!) We have started a new financial year and that means that Christmas is on its way. I have been investigating NEW VENUES for our CHRISTMAS LUNCH. THE GIBSON which is the old Stafford Bowls club is now operating so I thought this month would be a good opportunity to test it out. I have booked The Gibson for this month’s gathering on the 19th of July and we can check it out for our Christmas Lunch. It looks very comfortable and the prices appear very reasonable. Access is from Stafford City driveway behind McDonalds and there is a carpark at the very front of the building. If you have any queries please call me.

NAIDOC WEEK
Our parish proudly celebrated NAIDOC Week in prayer, song and action. At the weekend Masses we processed the gifts on our a Coolamon and possum skin, we sang the Aboriginal Our Father and prayed for the health of our nation, our diversity and our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander First People. The ‘Sea of Hearts Action’ was an opportunity for each of us to reflect on the unique culture of Australia’s First People. This visual reminder symbolises the heartfelt gratitude and solidarity we express for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander citizens. On a practical note, the hearts are 100% compostable, they will return to the earth, so precious and valuable to all. ONLINE TENNIS COURT BOOKING
