News from Bundaberg
17 September, 2024
The monthly Children’s Mass has continued to encourage young people and their families to celebrate together in an age-appropriate liturgy.
In late August Bishop Michael briefly visited Bundaberg. While here Fr Don took the Oath of Fidelity as Vicar General in the Office Chapel. The ceremony was attended by staff at the office. The parish formally congratulated Fr Don earlier in the month.
Our last gathering for our Alpha program this year was last Thursday September 10th, and this week the theme was “What about the Church?”. After our normal hospitality (shared another wonderful meal) we watched the Alpha video together, which led to some great discussion.
The video drew out sharing about our experience of Church, and how our views of the Christian faith might have changed since the start of the Alpha program. Guests talked about their future plans that could include deciding to become involved in one of the many ministries in the Parish or perhaps looking at further adult formation.
The Alpha team is very appreciative of the support from parishioners in our community who took turns providing a delicious main meal each week. We are also especially grateful for our prayer partners who prayed for our Alpha guests and team during these past eight weeks, both individually and during some of our parish’s prayer groups.
