The NCLS 2026 will be conducted during Masses next weekend, Saturday, 14 and Sunday, 15 November. The NCLS is held every five years in Christian Churches throughout Australia to coincide with the National Census. All Saints participated in NCLS 2016 and 2021. The great response enabled us to gather valuable data for Parish planning. Worshippers will be asked to complete a survey form after the short homily. Assistance will be offered. Surveys will be available online. Children can complete their own survey. I appreciate your cooperation. The Parish Census survey is postponed to early 2027. Fr Paul
