FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER


National Volunteer Week
Its important to recognise volunteers all year round. But this week is an
appropriate week (National Volunteer Week) to say Thank You to the
many people who give of their time to serve our faith community. Volunteers
are the backbone of Church life. Without volunteers . no church! (Fr John)

Emmanuel College
I wish to advise parishioners that the Parish Finance Committee made a
recommendation that we support Emmanuel College Multi Purpose Hall Building

Development Fund loan. The Parish will pay the principle off over a period of 15
years. I supported this recommendation. (Fr John)
