A Big Thank You to all our Volunteers!

This National Volunteer Week, we give special thanks to the many dedicated volunteers who help our parish community each week through their generosity, kindness and service 💜

Whether serving at the altar, proclaiming the Word, assisting as Eucharistic Ministers, welcoming parishioners through hospitality and morning tea, helping with the offertory or supporting our liturgies with PowerPoint, care of the sacristy, providing flowers, washing linen and any other service I may have overlooked!

And of course, we are so grateful to our volunteers in youth ministry, music and singing plus outreach to the sick in nursing homes and homebound.

Every role plays such an important part in bringing our parish together because your time, commitment and willingness to serve help create a welcoming and faith-filled community for so many people.

If anyone would like to be involved in any of our ministries or service, please let me or Mariela in the office know by giving us your contact details.

Our Parish Ministries brochure is available at the back of the church and suggestions are always welcome.

Thank you one and all for the care, warmth and dedication you share so generously at Mary Immaculate Parish.
