Thank you to everyone who joined us for the launch of our Parish Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) journey recently.

It was an insightful and informative evening as we gathered to listen, learn, and reflect together. Through the generosity of our guest speakers, we had the opportunity to hear first hand reflections from a local Indigenous man, learn about the rich Aboriginal history of our local area, explore the importance of truth telling, and gain a deeper understanding of how our parish can engage with the Archdiocesan Reconciliation Action Plan.

A special thank you to Michael Hollowand, Rob Phillips, and Sr Gen from our Social Justice Committee, and Fr Kevin Smith, for facilitating and coordinating the evening. We are also grateful to our guest speakers, Dr Ray Kerkhove from The University of Queensland, Joni McCourt, Archdiocese of Brisbane RAP Project Manager, and Moojidi Fogarty, for sharing their knowledge, experiences, and wisdom with our parish community.

The event marks the beginning of our parish’s reconciliation journey. Reconciliation is not a destination but an ongoing commitment to walking together, listening deeply, and building stronger relationships with our First Nations brothers and sisters.

If you would like to be part of this important journey and contribute to the development of our Parish RAP, we would love to hear from you. Please contact the Parish Office for more information.

We congratulate Fr bùi đức sáng on the first anniversary of his priestly ordination. 🙏🏼✝️

We were honoured to celebrate Fr Sang’s Thanksgiving Mass here at Saints Peter and Paul’s Church, Bulimba, last year and to warmly welcome his family on this special occasion. It remains a joyful and memorable moment in the life of our parish community.

As Fr Sang continues his priestly ministry at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Parish, Sunnybank, we give thanks for his faithful service and dedication to God’s people. Please join us in keeping Fr Sang in our prayers as he continues his journey of priesthood.

May the Lord bless you abundantly, Fr Sang, with wisdom, strength, joy, and peace. May He continue to guide and sustain you in your ministry for many years to come.

Congratulations on this wonderful milestone, Fr Sang! 💙🙏🏼✝️

Yesterday morning, our parish gathered for a simple Mass of thanksgiving followed by morning tea to farewell Sr Gen, giving thanks for her faithful presence among us. 🙏🏼🤍

A Good Samaritan Sister for 54 years, and part of our parish and the Lourdes Hill community for the past 12 years, Sr Gen has been deeply involved in parish life through RCIA, liturgical ministry, and especially through her leadership of the Social Justice Group, which has been a hallmark of her time with us. We are grateful that she will continue her membership in the Social Justice Group.

In her farewell, Sr Gen reminded us that life as a religious Sister never retires, just as our life as Christians continues in service, faith, and love wherever we are called.

We thank God for Sr Gen and all she has given to our community, and we wish her good health and every happiness in this next chapter of her religious life. She remains in our prayers. 🙏🏼🤗🩷

Please join us in offering our gratitude, prayers, and warm wishes to Sr Gen as she begins this next chapter of her religious life. May God bless her with good health, joy, and peace. 🙏🏼

At the Parish of Saints Peter and Paul, Bulimba, safeguarding is at the heart of our community life. 💛

In unity with the Catholic Archdiocese of Brisbane, we uphold a zero tolerance for all forms of abuse and are committed to creating a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for everyone involved in our parish activities, ministries, and services.

The safety and wellbeing of children and adults at risk is paramount. Every person deserves to feel safe, valued, and supported within our faith community.

As people of faith, we are called to protect the dignity of every person and to foster a culture of care, accountability, and compassion.

If you have any safeguarding concerns, reports can also be made confidentially through STOPline, an independent service that supports safe and transparent reporting.

Together, let us continue building a parish community where all can encounter God’s love in safety and trust. ✝️

Today, on ANZAC Day, we pause to remember and honour those who fought and died for freedom. ANZAC Day is a day when Australians and New Zealanders remember and honour those who fought and died for freedom. We gather not to glorify war but to remember those who have served our country during times of crisis and to reflect upon their selfless sacrifice.

As people of faith, we give thanks for their courage, service, and sacrifice, and we pray for all veterans, service men and women, and their families. Conscious that there are many men and women around the world still working for peace, we hold fast to the powerful hope that peace can exist today.

May Christ, the Prince of Peace, guide our hearts to be instruments of peace, compassion, and unity in our homes, our community, and our world.

Lest we forget. 🌺🙏

From the solemn reverence of Good Friday, to the light of the Easter Vigil, and the joy of Easter Sunday, our parish journeyed together through the heart of our faith. ✝️❤️💜🤍

We remembered Christ’s sacrifice, kept watch in hope, and rejoiced in the Resurrection. In every moment, we were reminded of God’s Divine Love a love that never fails and cannot fail.

We were especially blessed to witness new life in Christ through the baptism of baby Jane, a beautiful sign that the risen Lord continues to call us into new life.

Thank you to all who participated, served, and prayed throughout Holy Week. Your presence helped make these celebrations deeply meaningful for our parish family.

May the joy of the Risen Christ remain in your hearts, bringing peace, hope, and renewed faith to you and your families this Easter season. ✨
