Celebrating Holy Week and Easter

The Liturgy Roster for May 2023 through to July 2023 has been completed.

Use the link provided to you in your Roster email to download your copy of the Roster.
You can also collect a printed roster from the Sacristy.

We would love to see lots more people volunteer for the Liturgical Ministries, especially our secondary school-aged youth. Be involved as:

a Reader who proclaims the Word
an operator of the Mass PowerPoint presentation who helps keep people engaged in the action of the Mass
a Special Minister of the Eucharist who distributes communion
the Offertory Procession where you bring the gifts to the Altar
a Sacristan who prepares the sacred vessels and resources for use at Mass
a Welcomer who distributes the Newsletter and greets all who arrive with a warm welcome

If you’d like to be involved,
– contact the Parish Office by email or
– complete our Liturgy Ministries – New Member form

If you find you are unable to attend your rostered Mass, please use the following to organise your swap:

use the WhatsApp app to let others in your ministry that you are unavailable and need a swap. See the Roster Email with links to join the WhatsApp groups. Responses are monitored & ZenShifts is updated.
Organise your swaps by letting the Liturgy Committee know by using the WhatsApp app or by contacting David personally.

Socially distancing	Please remain 1.5m (socially distanced) from those not in your home environment.
