Catholic Life & Reflection
2nd Sunday of Advent
This Sunday is the Second Sunday of Advent. On this day we focus on Peace.
So often we yearn for peace. It can be elusive and we walk through our days thinking 'I will have peace when......', naming something that we think we need. In thinking this way we give away our own power to achieve the peace we so want.
But really peace is not what we achieve at the end of a journey. Peace itself is the path we walk. Peace is the manner and way we travel on that journey. Peace is in the conversations we have, the actions we take, the decisions we make. In each of these moments we are choosing peace.
Take the time this week to be a people of peace.
Notices from the Parish
Christmas Masses
COVID-19 means we need to organise Christmas masses differently this year:
- there are 2 family masses this year– 5:00 & 7:00pm.
- if families are booked and seated together our church can accommodate a maximum of 130 individuals at the family masses.
- families will be allocated designated seating, which requires that you book & register the total number of family members attending.
- the remaining vigil and Christmas day masses will revert to 100 attendees for each mass with our usual seating arrangements.
