HAVE YOUR SAY ON THE FUTURE OF OUR PARISH

Some of you may be aware that additional sites have recently been acquired adjacent to St Patrick’s Catholic Parish and the schools.  This additional land has given us an exciting opportunity to re-imagine the whole campus to create a vibrant and modern Parish community, right at the heart of Sutherland. There will be space for much needed Parish and community facilities like a new parish centre, café, parish meeting rooms and a long daycare centre. The Parish church will be at the centre of the new plans and we want to hear your views about what should be included in the long-term Vision for St Patrick’s. All ideas are welcome to help create a shared vision for the long term pastoral and financial sustainability of the parish.

There will be a Parish consultation session after the 8am and 10am Masses on Sunday 22nd November - come along to find out more and have your say. If you can’t make it to Mass that Sunday, we will be providing other opportunities for you to provide feedback – watch this space!

CONFIRMATION

We are happy to announce that the Sacrament of Confirmation will be held at our parish in November/December 2020.

 If your child is in Year 6 or above, have received the Sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation & First Holy Communion and they live or go to a school within our parish boundary, you are now welcome to enrol in our program.  Applications have been sent through St Patrick’s Primary School and also the state primary schools within our parish.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions with the number of people permitted in the church, we are not able to accept enrolments from families outside of our parish boundary as we are limited to the number of ceremonies we can have.

For any enquiries, please email the Sacramental Co-ordinator on admin@stpatssutherland.org.au
