THE REFURBISHMENT OF OUR CHURCH TOILET BLOCK was completed in early 2021.

Our volunteer John Heffernan with the help of Rev Rafael  and Fr Daney completed the refurbishment of our Church Toilet Block.  They refurbished the toilet block during the lockdown.

Many, many thanks to John Heffernan on the work, time and effort put into the Toilet Block Refurbishment work. He had done a wonderful job! John is very valuable contributor and great support to our parish. He had also organised the repairs to the Church Building broken windows (which was difficult) and fixed the presbytery front entry glass panels.  

We are very fortunate and grateful to have such talented, skilled, resourceful and dedicated priest, deacons and volunteers.

If you could make a monetary contribution to the Refurbishment Work of our parish’s buildings, it would be most appreciated.

We give thanks to the Lord that Our Lady of the Annunciation Parish has been a place where we can meet  God;

in the Eucharist and grow together as a faith community.

The Pastors of this parish have been men of God, faithful stewards of the vineyard of the Lord with joyful and thankful hearts. May Our Blessed Mother protect all our Priests.

May Our Lady of the Annunciation keep us always in her loving care; and may she find in us a willingness to place ourselves wholeheartedly at the service of God and His Church, and a desire to find our peace in His unique plan for us.
