From the Parish Priest
If anyone would like to host a Lenten reflection/
discussion group, there are a couple of resources to
assist. 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).

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

and use it every time you come to Mass!

movement, art, craft, morning tea and prayer. While children are singing and dancing, crawling and talking they are
cultivating their social, emotional, physical and intellectual development.

“They were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority...”
Just as the crowds were amazed by the authority with which Jesus cured the sick and the
possessed (see today’s Gospel from Mark 1:21-28), so you can experience, first-hand, the
healing power of the Good News, through a Catholic Mission immersion trip. There are
various places you can visit; I would love you to join me on a visit to parts of India, scheduled
for October. For a FREE information sheet about this trip, please contact our office, during
business hours on (07) 3336 9239 or email me at [email protected].

(Spoken by all)
Come, ring out our joy to the Lord;
hail the rock who saves us.
Let us come before him, giving thanks,
with songs let us hail the Lord.
Come in, let us kneel and bend low;
let us kneel before the God who made us
for he is our God and we
the people who belong to his pasture,
the flock that is led by his hand.
O that today you would listen to his voice!
'Harden not your hearts as at Meribah,
as on that day at Massah in the desert
when your fathers put me to the test;
when they tried me, though they saw my work.'
