Memorial Mass at St Patrick’s Church – November 26th
On 26th November, our parish community gathered at St Patrick’s Church for a heartfelt memorial Mass. This special occasion brought together all the southern cluster parishes to honour and remember the souls of our loved ones who have passed away.
Father Matthias presided over a deeply moving service, offering comfort and reflection to all in attendance. During the Mass, family members were invited to come forward to the altar to light a candle of remembrance, symbolising the enduring light of their loved ones’ spirits.
The event served as a poignant reminder of the importance of community, faith, and the everlasting bond of love that transcends death. It was a beautiful moment for all who participated, reaffirming our hope in eternal life and the ongoing presence of those we cherish in our hearts.
Thank you to the Bereavement Team and Kathleen at Mackay Funerals for their wonderful organisation of this faith filled event.
