Parish Feast Day Mass and social gathering
An extra Mass to celebrate our parish feast day will be held in Connolly Hall Chapel at 5.30pm on Friday 16th June, followed by a time of fellowship in the Cathedral foyer. This is an opportunity to gather together to celebrate our patronal feast. Mulled wine and juice will be available. Please bring a plate of finger food to share.
Our annual Parish AGM will be held This Sunday 23rd July at 2.30pm in Connolly Hall chapel, followed by afternoon tea in the Cathedral foyer.
There are a number of important items that will be raised during this meeting, so please come along. AGM documents were emailed out last Friday. Limited copies will be available at the meeting.
This is a very important annual event and something that every parishioner is highly encouraged to attend, especially now as we move towards the reopening of our beloved Cathedral.
Parishioner update Sunday 26th November (Not Saturday 26th November as appears in the newsletter)
Please join with the parish leadership teams at 2.00pm in Connolly Hall Chapel for an update, and opportunity to ask questions and offer your feedback on several important issues currently needing parish discernment. Issues such as the future of natural disaster insurance considerations, the potential redevelopment of Archdiocesan and parish land, the Cathedral Strengthening and Restoration project, and the Cathedral reopening and parish office relocation. This will be followed by fellowship and light refreshments in the Cathedral foyer afterwards.
As a follow-up from last year’s parish meeting, we will be having one again on Sunday 21 April at 2pm in Connolly Hall. The meeting will be followed by afternoon tea and another opportunity to welcome Fr Patrick to our Parish Family.
