New readers always welcome to join this warm welcoming group!

Our organizing committee has been planning and arranging speakers for 2019

Dennis Green is coordinator and has organized for Fr. Noel Connelly to present on update on what is happening with The Australian Plenary Council to be held in 2020.

Our submissions hopefully will help facilitate renewed perspectives in the life of our Church in the years before us.

One pressing issue to be examined is “Will the Bishops listen to what ideas are being prepared and refined for this Council”

A strategic member of the facilitating team, Fr. Noel Connelly will address these issues.

Wednesday 6th March at 8.00pm at the old "Pumphouse Hotel” now called St Andrews Hotel in Nicholson Street, Fitzroy

The renewal of paths and a public facilities

work at St Carthage’s Church commenced

on Thursday 24th January 2019.

Parishioner Robert Simione is our architect

and Gary Utri will be our coordinating

builder.

Occupational Health and Safety regulations

will be in place, with a temporary toilet available on the Brunswick side of

the Church.

Call for Volunteer Sunday Collection

Counters for this year! We wish to draw up a new roster of

counters for this year

The roster will commence in February

We need 3 counters to count the collection money after the 5pm Sunday Mass. We hope to have enough volunteers that means a roster turn every two months.

Counting usually takes between forty minutes and one hour.

We plan to have a thank you drinks in February that will bring our volunteers together. We will also give a practical demonstration of the counting procedure. Old and new counters please let Fr. Elligate know that you wish to help out.
