Zacchaeus’ Treehouse is a family ministry for children 5-12. We meet in Loreto Place on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month. From next Sunday, 8 February, we are running a new schedule: 9.30am Mass, 10.30am morning tea, 11am-12 noon craft. The changes will help young families attend Mass, eliminate the rush in finishing craft and provide opportunities to share lunch on special occasions to build relationships, especially with those new to our Parish. Enq. Christine: 0430 513 201; familyministry@cpasl.org.au.

It is a wonderful opportunity to welcome new families into our Parish community. All are welcome.

Thank you to all who made Fr Chris’ farewell Mass and lunch last Sunday such a tribute to him and inspiring experience of All Saints Parish life, especially ministers at Mass, servers and musicians in the Hall and the Social Committee coordinating the lunch. Thank you to all who stacked tables and chairs. Please pray for Fr Chris as he begins his new ministry.
