Pentecost Sunday Celebrations
The Liturgy Committee is currently preparing for Pentecost Sunday on 4th & 5th June 2022.

We have put together a list of countries representing the cultural heritage or country of origin of our parishioners based on our limited knowledge. Please let us know by 31st May of your cultural heritage / country of origin if it is not in the list below. You can either email cheryl.tay@cam.org.au or add the name of the country on the notice pinned on the notice board in the church foyer.

| Ireland | Italy | Lebanon |
| Malaysia | Netherlands | New Zealand |

If you plan to attend 11.15am mass on 5th Jun, we also invite you to bring a dish representing your cultural background to share with the community after mass. Thank you.
Parish Feast Day Celebrations
The Liturgy Committee is currently preparing for our parish feast day celebration on 25th & 26th June. We invite all parishioners to send in a photo of yourself or with your family to enable us to create a mosaic image for our feast day celebration. You can send in your photos in 2 ways:
- Email it to cheryl.tay@cam.org.au with the subject title: parish feast day mosaic; or
- Drop it in the collection box located in the church foyer. Please make sure to write your name and contact number on the back of the photo so that it can be returned to you after.
