Installation of Bishop Anthony Fisher OP as Bishop of Parramatta
Welcome Bishop Anthony Fisher Dear Members of our Parish Family,
The Mass that followed was prayerful and inspirational and the Bishop’s homily was a true “mission statement”, not only for him but also for the Diocese. Copies of the Mass booklet are available in the foyer as are some prayer cards. We thus warmly welcome Bishop Anthony as our Parish Priest, and he will be in the parish next weekend, hoping to meet some of you. He will be celebrating the Saturday night Mass and the 9.30am Mass, and will be present before, during or after the other Masses. Some of you may see him a little bit earlier. Fr Wim Lenten Timetable
Diocesan Works Fund Collection Thank you for your generosity last weekend. If you came unprepared or were away last weekend your collection would be greatly appreciated this weekend. We have a large quota of $12,000 and every donations, no matter how small will help to meet this target. |

It was with great joy that we welcomed Bishop Anthony not only as our new Bishop on Thursday night, but also as our Parish Priest. In the presence of over 1,700 people, Bishop Anthony was installed as the third Bishop when the Moderator of the Curia, Very Reverend Father Robert McGuckin read the Papal appointment letter. Bishop Kevin passed over the Diocesan Crosier and Bishop Anthony sat down on his “cathedra”, the Bishop’s seat.
Wear your lucky green and come celebrate St Patrick’s Feast Day

We’ll share meal and some good ol’ Irish fun.
