Please consider coming along to our working bee on Saturday the 14th of December and helping in keeping the Shrine beautiful for our local area and the pilgrims that visit. This Shrine is a treasure to the Order, Diocese and country, any help and forms of talent are always most welcome.
During the working bee this month we are going to focus on a variety of maintenance tasks. The list includes:
- Trimming bushes.
- Cleaning gutters.
- Painting around the shop and entrance.
- Fixing some sunken pavers.
- Cleaning the chapels.
- Edging a garden.
- Trimming the grass off the drive.
It would greatly assist in planning if anyone interested in coming would let Fr Joseph Maria know what projects they might be interested in working on. It is not expected that we will be able to start or finish the whole list.
If you have tools that can help with the particular task you are interested in, you are encouraged to bring them along.
The program for the day would be:
- Mass at around 8:15am in the Shrine Church
- Begin work at 9am
- Volenteers Christmas BBQ around 1:30pm
The Fathers and Brothers pray for the intentions of volunteers to the Shrine everyday.
