Our very grateful thanks to Fr Ronnie and Fr Peter for being with us this past week and leading us in what has been a very fulfilling week of Parish Mission. It was great to see such a good turnout at the 7am & 10am Masses and the evening Liturgies throughout the week. We wish Fr Ronnie and Fr Peter all the very best in their future ministry of preaching the Gospel through Missions and Retreats. We look forward to inviting them back at some stage as a follow up to our Parish Mission.
