After the 11am Mass, for those who would like, Fr Richard invites pilgrims to accompany him and members of the community to St Patricks cemetery, Sutton Forest to visit and pray at the grave of Fr Gabriel Taylor.
DIOCESAN ADVENT PROGRAM
This year the theme of the Wollongong Advent program is “The Sign”. This fantastic production is an initiative of the Diocese of Wollongong and lays out a short reflection each day during the season of Advent and Christmas. What better way to prepare a way for the Lord. The Booklets are available at the side table of the Church and are $7 each.
