OUR MISSION
We Welcome All into an Enrichment of Faith: a Sacred Space where God’s True Presence is revealed in the Sacraments and in our Community that encompasses Christ’s Love for one another and the needs of our brothers & sisters throughout our World.
REJOICE IN THE LORD!
A theme of joy always runs through the liturgy of the Third Sunday of Advent.
The joy of this day springs from our anticipation and excitement that the Lord’s coming is very near.
We ask the Lord to remove any sadness from our hearts that may hinder us from embracing the peace and hope which his presence will bestow on us this Christmas.

Youth Group Report
Last week at 24:7 Nedlands was our final youth group for the year and we had an incredible Christmas party to celebrate! We had Christmas themed games, a secret Santa, and we also gave a special farewell to our Youth Minister Kyla, and Volunteer leader Tom!
Last week we also had a leadership catch-up where the leaders all had quality fellowship time to end off the year. We reflected on our favourite memories and enjoyed each other’s company.
We also had our youth Mass and Bake sale last weekend, where we raised over $1,000 for the youth group!
SPECIAL EVENT
This Friday night, the 13th of December we have the Annual 24:7 Youth Ministry Awards Night! It's looking to be a great night of celebration to thank each of our wonderful leaders and have a look at all that's happened across the network this past year. Please see the invitation below for more details but we encourage all to come along to cap off the wonderful year that 2024 has been!

RCIA
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process (meaning no formal written examinations) for those interested in becoming Catholic or who are Baptised and want to complete their Sacraments of Initiation of First Holy Communion and Confirmation. This is also an ideal opportunity for non-Catholics who just wish to enquire into Catholicism who may feel that this is where God is calling them. I will be commencing the RCIA process on Tuesday, 14th November 2023 at 7.00 pm in the Presbytery (the building beside the Church), 46 Thomas Street, Nedlands. Anyone who has questions or even want to join in as a refresher for their faith’s journey are also welcome. If you have any other questions, please phone me on 08 9386 1870 or email: Fr Gavin: gavin_gomez@hotmail.com
