The parishโ€™s Young Adults Mission team launched a Sunday 6:00pm young adults mass this week. This will be happening every week from now on. We enjoyed supper afterwards with pizza and drinks.

This first mass was celebrated by Franciscan priest, Fr Francesco Basnayake OFM, who concluded his homily by saying that the future of the church in Australia is no longer in the hands of the priests like him โ€“ ‘it is with you, the young people’.

Davidโ€™s Place Annual Christmas Mass โ€“ an enriching experience!

Davidโ€™s Place Annual Mass. Parishioner and Parish Pastoral Council member, Daphne O’Brien says, “It was a privilege to witness such genuine warmth, loving friendship, respect and inclusion amongst the 80 + mass goers. One of the special highlights was Bishop Danny Meagher, (well known to many of the David’s Place people from his former role), took the time to greet everyone present personally, ably assisted by Sue Buckingham. His presence, participation and very natural manner clearly made the day for many.
