Wanting to read the Word of God but struggling to know where to begin? Or perhaps you're looking for a group of people to talk 'Bible' with.

The Faith Formation Team is running an 8-week course, guided by Jeff Cavins' 'A Quick Journey Through the Bible'. This study program helps you to get the "big picture" of the Bible by showing how fourteen narrative books of the Bible tell the complete story from Adam and Eve to Christ and the Church.

Mondays at 5:30pm in the Mother Teresa Room, starting next week on 28th July.

All are welcome to come along!

ATTENTION YOUNG ADULTS!

The Australian Catholic Youth Festival (ACYF) is a national gathering of Catholic young people established by the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference (ACBC). It exists to provide young people with an opportunity to:
• Deepen their relationship with Jesus.
• Be empowered to be disciples in the world today.
• Encounter and celebrate the vitality of the Church in Australia.

The first ACYF was held in Melbourne in December 2013, followed by Adelaide in 2015, Sydney in 2017 and Perth in 2019. Young people are invited to attend the 2025 ACYF hosted by the Archdiocese of Melbourne.

The ACYF is a unique opportunity to join a pilgrimage from the Diocese of Lismore to further enhance this celebration of faith. The ACYF will provide further opportunity to form young people into missionary disciples in our parishes, ready to serve these communities in the coming years.

For more information contact the parish at [email protected] or call us on (02) 6681 1048.
