Marian Valley Retreat
What an incredibly beautiful day we had at Marian Valley for our Retreat “Power of Prayer’ on Monday! 🌸 We boarded the bus in the chilly morning and arrived in time to celebrate mass with Fr Luan. A day filled with good food, amazing company, time to journey with the Lord and His Mother in the gorgeous surrounds of the valley and a powerful rosary to finish the day. It was a day of fellowship, discovery and the presence and love of our God and Blessed Mother Mary. What a great intercultural community we have with 10 countries of heritage within our group that day! The countries of: Republic of Philippines, El Salvador, Columbia, Mexico, Vietnam, Korea, Australia, Italy, India and Togo/ Ghana were all represented. What a blessing! Thank you to all the Parishioners that made the day so memorable.
Raffle Winners Announced
A wonderful weekend of masses. There was a packed church as we excitedly drew the winners for the Jackpot Raffle. Congratulations to Anne Anderson, Therese Nguyen and James Le. A massive thank you to you, the parishioners, who gave your full support to this fundraising venture to kick off our fundraising for 2023. New exciting things coming up, stay tuned.
Pre-Loved Markets
What an amazing day at the Awaken Pre-Loved Markets on the 30th April. It was an overwhelming success with incredible support from the local community. Our fundraising expectations were generously superseded thanks to the generosity of the community and the closing time had to be extended due to the amount of people still coming in at the end of the day.
The efforts of the volunteers from the Parish community was outstanding. The love friendship generosity and joy they radiated was a true reflection of a life filled with the hope of our Lord Jesus - what a witness! Please share in some photos from the day below.

We Walk in Love & Unity
The Breastplate of St Patrick
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.
I arise today
Through the strength of Christ's birth with His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion with His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection with His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.
I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In the obedience of angels,
In the service of archangels,
In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In the prayers of patriarchs,
In the predictions of prophets,
In the preaching of apostles,
In the faith of confessors,
In the innocence of holy virgins,
In the deeds of righteous men.
I arise today, through
The strength of heaven,
The light of the sun,
The radiance of the moon,
The splendor of fire,
The speed of lightning,
The swiftness of wind,
The depth of the sea,
The stability of the earth,
The firmness of rock.
I arise today, through
God's strength to pilot me,
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's host to save me
From snares of devils,
From temptation of vices,
From everyone who shall wish me ill,
afar and near.
I summon today
All these powers between me and those evils,
Against every cruel and merciless power
that may oppose my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of pagandom,
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of witches and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul;
Christ to shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that there may come to me an abundance of reward.
Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.
