FROM THE PARISH PRIEST
Dear Friends,
Our parish community is truly a family, made one in Jesus Christ, with a united, heartfelt vision of His kingdom. Across all of our communities we seek to cherish, cultivate, and celebrate the many and varied ways that God desires to touch and transform the lives of people. Our common call as followers of Jesus is to encourage, equip, and empower others to live as Disciples of Christ.
Our parish is greatly blessed to have many parishioners who live this daily and wish to support others on this journey of faith. Our numerous parish volunteers assist with parish life, whether it be by involvement in the preparation and running of the liturgical and devotional life of the church or with the many areas of outreach into the wider community.
The commitment of the unique energy, gifts, and talents of so many people in our parish community makes our parish come alive. Whatever you may be seeking, and however you may be able to encounter and serve the Lord in this place, I encourage you all to come along, get to know one another, meet Christ regularly in our eucharistic celebrations, commit to becoming involved, and join us as we journey together to bring others to Christ!
This website is one of many ways that we try to reach out to the community, and we welcome your feedback on how we can improve it and make it more useful to you.
God Bless, Fr. Jason Middleton, Parish Priest

SYNOD24 Action Plans: Implementing the Plenary Council Decrees
Archbishop Mark Coleridge explains that these Spirit-led and hope-filled action plans are “God’s gift to us, and its impact will reach far
into the future which God is preparing.”
While each action plan focuses on different elements of the life and mission of the church, they all lead towards a more co-responsible and synodal church on mission. Each parish, community and agency is strongly encouraged to take the time to dream and plan together so that these act ions can be creatively implemented across the Archdiocese in ways that authentically meet the needs of the broader community.
When launching the Archdiocese of Brisbane SYNOD24 Action Plans:
Implementing the Plenary Council Decrees, Archbishop Mark also reminds us of the
importance of reading these act ion plans alongside Australian Plenary Council Decrees, the final document of the Synod on Synodality and Pope Francis’ letter that accompanies the final
document.
