Please contact Shirley in the parish office for more information. The workshop to provide training in safeguarding children and vulnerable adults is this Wednesday evening, from 6:30pm in the hall at Saint John Fisher. Those who should be in attendance are: pastoral councillors, leaders of Children’s Church and Children’s Liturgy of the Word; sacristans who deal with altar servers; leaders of the youth group; those who visit the sick and/or elderly in their homes or in aged care facilities. Please advise the parish office of your intention to attend, for catering purposes. We have also been advised that this training will be offered on Wednesday 11th February at 9.15am in the Aspinall Centre, 4 Klumpp Rd, Upper Mt Gravatt. Visitors from other parishes are most welcome. If you attend this session, could you please advise our parish office as we are meant to keep a register of all those who have done this important training. Since the 1st of February falls on a Sunday, and the same occurs again in March, meaning that the Saturday and Sunday of the same weekend fall on different weeks of the month, it poses a few challenges for our scheduling for Masses and the priests’ roster. Long story short: keep an eye on the diary on page four. Just so that you are aware, my work schedule for the time being is as follows: Monday is my free day, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my parish days, and Thursdays and Fridays I will be working at the Tribunal Office in the City. Weekends, of course, I am here in the parish. Now that Father Paul has been appointed Associate Pastor for Annerley Ekibin parish, I have asked him to look after the Liturgy Committee and associated matters, and also the preparation of parents who have infants to be baptized. We welcome Father Paul back this weekend. From this weekend at Mary Immaculate, those approaching to receive Holy Communion are asked to fill the front pew on either side. At the 7:30am and 5:00pm Masses, which are always Ordinary Form Masses, the communicant has the following choices which they are free to make: to receive Communion in the hand or on the tongue, and to receive Communion standing or kneeling (and any combination of those). At Masses which are the Extraordinary Form (i.e. the 1962 Order of Mass or the Old Rite / Traditional Latin Mass) Communion is only to be received on the tongue, and the communicant is to kneel unless this is physically impossible. Therefore, at the 9:00am Mass, and the Monday 7:00pm and Saturday 8:00am Masses, the liturgical norms apply depending on which Form of the Mass is being celebrated. Good luck to all art union ticket holders. The early-bird draw for $200 takes place this Tuesday. It’s not too late to be in this draw—return an application form today, or visit the parish office on Monday morning. One ticket ($25) gets you in all draws throughout the year, and you can win more than once. There are monthly prize draws from now until November, and tickets can be purchased up to and including the Monday before the November draw. Due to several other events, the all-night vigil of Eucharist Exposition at Saint Elizabeth’s will recommence on Thursday 19th February (and not the 12th, as previously advertised). Father Adrian Sharp [email protected] | 0427 109 054 Sacramental Journey for Families A BIG THANK YOU AND ASKING PARISHIONERS FOR THEIR PRAYERS ... Thank you to the Sacramental families who have come along this weekend and during the school holidays to recommence the "official" journey towards the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Holy Communion in our parish this year - it has been such a joy to meet you for our "Recap and Church Tour" session. This weekend you will be given "Take My Hand" sessions numbers 3 and 4, to be completed with numbers 1 and 2 (given out previously) by your first group session on the weekend of 14/15 February. Everyone should know their group time by now. To all parishioners I ask your continue prayers for our Sacramental families as they journey through this sacred time of preparation. With thanks and God's continued blessings, Selina, Sacramental Co-ordinator 0409 735 462 [email protected] P.S. Children, you also received a Missal this weekend, so be sure to put it in a safe place and use it every time you come to Mass!
