Congratulations to Fr Tony Nunes on the 25^th Anniversary of his Priestly Ordination. May the grace and peace of Our Lord be with you in all you do.  With prayers of gratitude and joy for all your faithful service.

Dear Parishioners

Fraternal Greetings to you.

The Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) met and also reviewed Parish Covid Protocols. As the law allows

maximum 250 people per Church Service and as the Parish is opening up and moving towards a

“New Normal” it was decided to encourage ALL people, including the under 15’s and the over 70’s,

to return to Church. There is a need to rebuild the community, the faith and the resources of

Maryvale Catholic Church, we hope that we can count on you.

Think and pray about these things and going forward hope to see you ALL in Church. God Bless

Fr AP Nunes                             (Signed letter from Fr Tony)
