And with good numbers at the special Gaudete โ€˜Joyfulโ€™ Sunday Mass st St Caniceโ€™s this morning, itโ€™s beginning to feel a lot like โ€˜communityโ€™ once more.

Fr Dave Braithwaite SJ spoke of the importance of โ€˜Memoryโ€™ in our lives.

Thereโ€™s nothing like โ€˜Hail, Queen of Heavenโ€™, to energise the congregation into singing our Recessional hymn today, (and then to give themselves a spontaneous round of applause!)

Morning tea follows in the church hall. So๏ฟผ many stay on and enjoy mingling – renewing friendships and getting to know newcomers. Beef sliders, lamb kofta and chicken skewers – all washed down by Sevenhill wines from the Jesuit vineyards in South Australia.

Christmas is just around the corner. Young, old, newcomers, you are all welcome at St Caniceโ€™s . Here are our Christmas Mass times for your convenience.
