CHILDREN'S
LITURGY:
Each Sunday during School Term children have the opportunity at the 9.30am Sunday mass to take part in their own Liturgy of the Word.
They leave the main body of the church just after the start of Mass and return for the Eucharistic Prayer, with the Younger group (prep to pre-First Communion) gathering in the Lady Chapel and the Older group (First Communion and upwards) gathering in the Sacristy.
These special times for the children are conducted by a group of volunteers from the parish.
The group meets twice a year for discussion and planning.
For enquiries, contact the parish office 8862 4000 or email Christine at
walsh.pc@bigpond.net.au
PLANTS
FOR EAST TIMOR:
The Parish Gardening Group is considering applying for a stall at the monthly Boroondara market at Hawthorn Town Hall, to sell plants in support of the Jesuit Mission Mobile Medical Clinic at Railaco, in East Timor. Before this is done, we are seeking support from parishioners to assist with potting up plants, or an occasional 2- hour roster on the stall, or even to provide us with used 15cm (6inch) pots. Dependent upon the response, and approval from Council, we would hope to commence business late this year.
