Fr Gerard Lai has just begun his appointment as new Associate Pastor for Maroochydore Parish this week after three years of service at Caloundra Parish.

“Out of all the 94 parishes in the Brisbane Archdiocese, I was blessed enough to be sent right next door,” he said.

“I am looking forward to this next chapter and becoming part of the Maroochydore family.”

An added bonus is that we have the opportunity to welcome our new priest, Fr Gerard. So please, plan to join us after Mass this weekend – why not invite a friend or neighbour? Also, don’t forget that you are invited to bring along a plate to share next weekend.

At the last gathering of Sisterhood, our Parish Women’s Ministry, we welcomed Dr Mary Murphy to our gathering. Mary is an educator who has worked predominantly within Catholic Education and Ecumenical schools. Currently, her focus is on the formation, professional supervision and faith development of senior and middle leaders within schools. Dr Mary Murphy gave us a brief and enlightening presentation based on the work of Fr Richard Rohr, outlining how the spiritual tool of enneagrams can assist us in discovering knowledge about ourselves so that we can interact more fully with divine love.
Our focus now turns to our annual Sisterhood Retreat, which will be held on Saturday, August 29. We are excited that our guest speaker has agreed to join us, and preparations are well and truly underway. The numbers will be limited for the retreat, so please make sure you mark your diary.
