During our monthly working bee on the 3rd Saturday of the month (21 of Setptember), we are going to continue cleaning up the around the chapels at the back of the property. The goal of doing so will be:

• We want our shrine to look as beautiful as possible and to be spiritually uplifting to the pilgrims who come.
• Enure that should a bush fire ever come our way, we are as prepared as possible by removing the fuel load.
• The general safety of those who walk around the Shrine property.

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
• BBQ lunch around 1:30pm
• Finish around 5:30pm (for those that can stay the whole day).

The work will be split into two groups. One group cleaning around the chapels by sweeping, removing old flowers, and, generally, tidying up the chapels themselves. The second group working to clear the the dead wood that has built up around the chapels. This work will include collecting small branches and large logs, loading them in a trailer, and piling them up in an open field to be burnt. Solid shoes and gloves would be a must. Anyone who can bring a chainsaw to help cut up logs or a trailer to help move them is encouraged to bring them.
