Awaken Together in Christ

Awaken Prayer Evening - we are hoping to have the next prayer evening in September. More details will be updated closer to the date.

The monthly Awaken Prayer Nights have been so essential for our members’ spiritual growth and development. We have seen so many people’s faith deepened, and lives changed. People are coming back to Christ because of this powerful ministry. With this in mind, we are offering people more opportunities to encounter the Holy Spirit in a real and tangible way.

For the month of July, Steffanie will be available for private prayer overs and discernment. We thank the Holy Spirit for moving this ministry in a powerful way and giving us this new approach to ministry. And we are very excited about this. We are also grateful to Steffanie for providing this wonderful opportunity for everyone, despite having a busy schedule. I truly recommend you book in a session to see her and encourage you to take this valuable opportunity.
​
Please contact the Parish Office to make a booking - phone (07) 3274 5513. Steffanie is available from Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm. During this time the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed, and confession will be available.
FRIENDS IN GRACE (SENIORS GROUP)
Friends in Grace. Our Seniors group is now called Friends in Grace (FiG). Our gathering is becoming popular and we are grateful for the Awaken and Parish Team for running this great social group. The group is now open for anyone and not just for the seniors. We gather every second and fourth Thursday of the month, straight after mass from 9.30-11.00am in the Blue hall.
Dates for August Friends in Grace are Thursdays 11th and 25th August.
