Welcome

Welcome to your parish of Mother of Mercy.  We are endeavouring to be a welcoming, Christ-centred community.  Our focus is to provide opportunities to all to encounter, and be transformed by, Jesus and continually share this with others.  We want to create a culture of authentic engagement and service where all belong and are connected.  We look forward to meeting you soon.

NOVEMBER MASSES — BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE
Parishioners are invited to write the names of their dearly departed family and friends in the Books of Remembrance found near the altar at each of the churches during the month of November. The names listed will be prayed for at each of the Masses during the month of November.
SVDP Christmas Appeal Weekend – 2-3 December 2023:
The Hendra St Vincent De Paul Branch is commencing its Christmas Appeal. At present with the escalating costs of living and rising interest rates
and rents, there is an increased demand for emergency relief. Please give generously to the Vinnies Christmas Appeal being held weekend
of 2-3 December at all of our churches, so that the Branch can continue to provide critical support to those who request assistance.  Appeal envelopes can be found on the pews.

Giving Tree 2023—Hendra Branch St Vincent De Paul:
Parishioners are invited to donate to our Christmas Giving Tree. The tree will be in the church from the weekend of 2-3 December. Grocery items to support hampers being prepared by St Vincent de Paul can be placed under the tree in the Churches and your generosity is very much appreciated.

Items needed: tinned vegetables and fruit, tinned ham, plum pudding, long life custard, jellies, nuts, sweets — all the usual Christmas fare that you would have at your own home. Other items would be those that you might need to put together a meal for yourself over the holidays as well as items for washing, cleaning, soaps, shampoos. Please NO TOYS—the parents will attend to the Santa wish for their children but this may leave them very low!   Thank you for your support!
