Experience Community In Action!




We were blessed by the presentations by our Community Experience gals.
We were encouraged by Jess that GOING FORWARD SHRINKS FEAR!    

Besides giving us good guidelines on time management, Jo reminded us to ask God for His sense of priorities and to rely on the Holy Spirit, the ever-ready Power of God who makes all things possible!
We learnt from Marilyn that our feelings, thoughts and temperaments are gifts from God and we are not to be controlled by them. Rather, they are to be submitted to and governed by God's truth, so that they can bring us to where God wants us to go. Thanks for edifying us and WELL DONE!

Faith FUEL!

Faith FUEL is the faith formation programme which we offer to our Sunday mass congregation.

FUEL stands for Forming, Upbuilding, Evangelising, Living.

Our desire through Faith FUEL is to nourish the faith of our wider St Gerard's community so that they can impact the local society, beginning with their family units.

To this end we are focussing on the Word of God for our new season of Faith FUEL which commences on 5 September Sunday.

After the 10.30am mass, we will have morning tea and thereafter we will go into a time of reading and sharing on the Bible.

Mindful of the young families in our midst, we are offering childminding services for parents attending Faith FUEL.

We are excited to grow in faith together as a family! \o/
