Please consider coming along to our working bee on Saturday the 16th of August and helping in keeping the Shrine beautiful and spiritually uplifting 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. What is attempted depends on who attends and their interests. The list includes:
- Trimming bushes and plants.
- Cleaning gutters.
- Cleaning the chapels.
- Painting.
- General cleanup.
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 at the back of the property
- Lunch around 1:30pm
- Finish around 3:30pm (for those that can stay the whole day).
The Fathers and Brothers pray for the intentions of volunteers to the Shrine everyday.
