Liturgy and Prayer
We enact our mission through liturgy and prayer opportunities that form, inform and transform our faith.
‘Beside Restful Waters’ – Charismatic Prayer Group
This group has been meeting in St Bernard’s Church each Wednesday after the 7.00 pm Mass, since 1989. Restful Waters (Psalm 23:2) is one of 44 prayer groups in the Archdiocese affiliated with “Joshua Prayer Communities and Ministries” which comes under the patronage of the Archbishop. We commence with prayer and praise followed by scripture sharing, teachings or meditation. Contact Maureen 3172 9248.
Liturgy Team
This group is responsible for coordinating the various liturgical ministries, for the preparation of liturgy and the liturgical environment of our parish churches and for in-service opportunities. We are always seeking members to assist in the preparation of the Liturgy. Gifts needed are varied. Contact the parish office.
