Parish Mission – THANK YOU
Our loving God is God of abundance. Let us give thanks to Him for all the blessings and graces he gave us individually and as a community during the Parish Mission.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to :
- Carol Ann Norris and members of the Parish Pastoral Council in a special way who have been instrumental in the planning and help to bring the Parish Mission to fruition.
- All the Speakers who delivered inspiring talks.
- The Good Mental Health Group for organising the Active Retreat.
- The Ministry Coordinators who presented material for the expo.
- All those involved in the preparation, organisation and kind assistance during the event.
- Our wonderful Parishioners for participating and showing their gratitude for what was offered.
This year, Pope Francis has asked that we pray in preparation for the Jubilee Year of 2025. Archbishop Costello has recently asked for our prayers for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
Let us pray through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary during this month, that as we devote ourselves in her honour, may She bring us closer to her Son, Jesus, so that we too may be effective bearers of the Gospel.
With God’s abundant blessings upon all of us and our families at St. Thomas More, Bateman Parish.
Fr. Phong Nguyen
