IMPORTANT NOTICE

FROM ARCHBISHOP MARK COLERIDGE TO THE PASTORS AND PEOPLE OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF BRISBANE

In light of the Archbishop's message of 19th March, effective immediately,  the celebration of Mass on Sundays (including the Saturday vigil) is suspended with immediate effect and until further notice, and all the faithful are dispensed from the Sunday obligation.     Priests will continue to celebrate Mass (the Mass for the people) on Sundays without a congregation, with people able to follow Masses live-streamed from the Cathedral at archbne.org/bzw on Sundays and weekdays.
  • Attendance in person at Sunday Mass has been suspended with immediate effect.  
  • Weekday Mass will still continue, yet must be under 100 people.  
  • ​A live-stream of the Sunday Masses are available by clicking here.

FROM OUR PARISH PRIEST, FR DAVID PASCOE

Yesterday, 19th March, Archbishop Mark wrote to all the priests and people of the Archdiocese in terms of our entering uncharted waters in anxious times. We like so many people in our country and the world are faced with significant issues as a result of the Covid19 virus. First and foremost, it now means that we are unable to gather for Mass on Sunday. This will be immensely difficult for us. However, we are still able to come together during the week for mass, that is while observing the current restrictions and precautions. We give thanks for these opportunities. There is more information on this site; (see resources below).

Equally importantly, we will need to care for each other in all the circumstances of our lives, especially aware of those particularly vulnerable in our community. In all this we know that we are not alone, that God’s love holds us together, and offers us the Living Water of Jesus’ Risen presence in the life-giving ways of the Spirit. Let us pray for each other, and offer Prayers of intercession for an end to the pandemic and for the safety of all.

Peace be with you all. Fr David

Welcome to Living Waters Parish, the newest parish in the Archdiocese of Brisbane. Of course, the parish includes communities that have been around for a long time! As you can see there are five communities that together form our parish community. Our updated web presence is in the process of being developed. We are merging the old websites of Caboolture Catholic Parish and Stanley River Parish. However, in the meantime, we hope that this site will provide you with the information you need. In our communities you will find a hospitable welcome and a practical living of the Gospel in a variety of ministries and outreach to the wider community. We seek to fulfil Archbishop Mark’s words in the Decree of Establishment of Living Waters Parish:

“In John’s Gospel, Jesus offers ‘living water’ to the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well. May the rivers and waterways of this new parish always be a reminder of Jesus’ promise to this ‘living water’ and may it become, in the people, a spring of water welling up to eternal life.

May Our Lady, Mother of God and Mother of the Church, intercede with the Father for rich blessings to come to Living Waters parish through Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit.”

If you are new to our parish, please don’t hesitate to contact us so that we can welcome and assist you as a valued parishioner.​

Peaceful Blessings,
Fr David Pascoe

SACRAMENTAL PROGRAM UPDATE
For those families who are currently preparing their children to receive the sacrament of Penance we ask you to continue to work with your child at home until contacted by the Parish Office to arrange a time for the sacrament to take place.

For our families who are looking at the reception of First Holy communion the Parish Office will contact you to advise the start of the program.

STATIONS OF THE CROSS
Will be held every Friday during Lent at Little Flower beginning at 5pm and at St Peter’s at 7pm. This is a wonderful opportunity to gather together in prayer and reflection on the journey Christ took for us to Easter.

TAKING EXTRA PRECAUTIONS
With COVID-19 (Coronavirus) now being made a Pandemic by the World Health Organisation, it vitally important to observe the guidelines set down by the Archdiocese. For regular updates please visit the Archdiocese Website.

​PARISH BAPTISMS
Our Parish will continue to celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism but with the restrictions of only one family per weekend. We have asked the families to limit the numbers to immediate family members only so as to come within the government and Archdiocesan guidelines.

INSTALLATION OF FR DAVID  4pm Sunday 29th March, 2020
​
We are very excited to announce the installation of Fr David as the Parish Priest of our Living Waters Catholic Parish.  Archbishop Mark will officiate at a special Mass to be held in the Mary MacKillop Performance Centre (St Columban’s College Caboolture).  Please put the time and date into your diaries. Refreshments afterwards in the Bobbio Restaurant.

PARISH FINANCIAL GIVING
We have had a number of people asking the question how they can continue to financially support the Parish if there are no weekend Masses. May we firstly
say thank you for your consideration towards this matter as we rely on your generosity week after week to meet the costs of running the Parish. What we would ask you to do is to ring our Finance Officer Kath on 5495 1028 or 0407 651 770 anytime during the week or if you are able to drop into the Parish Office as we will be here everyday as per usual to assist in whatever way we can.
