Happy Christmas and New Year

My Dear Parishioners and Visitors,

On behalf of Fr. Stephen, the Parish Staff and Myself I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones the blessings and joy of the Christmas Season and as we journey into 2021 will be the year to leave behind COVID-19.

Christmas is a time of celebration and joy. How clearly this is seen and felt in gatherings with family and friends, in Christmas music resonating everywhere, in gift exchanges and festive decorations. The joy of Christmas is also felt in a spirit of solidarity and fraternity that seems more tangible at this time of year. All these signs of joyful celebration flow from God’s own joy. Indeed, the joy of Christmas is the joy of God our Father who gives us his Son; it is the joy of Jesus who gives himself to us by becoming one of us, by living with us, close to us; it is the joy of the Holy Spirit who helps us discover in our own life the presence of God with us.

The joy announced to us at Christmas is that of God who not only gave us life but who also gives himself to each of us. Let us open our hearts to receive the life and joy that God graciously and abundantly gives us, not only at Christmas but also at every moment of our lives. Let us hear within our heart and soul the voice of God who invites us to find our own try joy in self-giving. By our simple gestures of love and kindness, we will reveal to others a glimpse of the infinite and unconditional love that God bestows upon each one of us.

Here is my wish for you and your loved ones during this Christmas season: may the Child Jesus who gives himself to us by making himself one of us be your JOY at Christmas and at every moment of the New Year.

Wishing you and your loved ones all God’s blessings.

Happy Christmas and New Year,
Fr. Gerard

Sacraments

Baptism/RCIA

In the Sacraments of Christian initiation we are freed from the power of darkness and joined to Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. We receive the Spirit of filial adoption and are part of the entire people of God in the celebration of the memorial of the Lord’s death and resurrection.

Sacramental Programs

The Sacraments are before all else the action of Jesus Christ, risen from the dead and alive in his body the Church. They are celebrated communally with the active participation of the parish under the oversight of the Bishop whose responsibility it is to control, promote and protect the entire liturgical life of the Church entrusted to [him] (Vatican II, CD 15).

Weddings

The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life derives its force and strength from creation, but for the Christian faithful it is also raised up to a higher dignity, since it is numbered among the Sacraments of the new covenant.

Anointing of the Sick

Once referred to as the ‘Last Rites’ or ‘Extreme Unction’, since the Second Vatican Council the Church has revised its understanding of this Sacrament and named it for what it is, the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick.

Funerals

The Celebration of the Christian funeral brings hope and consolation to the living. While proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ and witnessing to Christian hope in the resurrection, the funeral rite also recalls to all who take part in them God’s mercy and judgment and meet the human need to turn always to God in times of crisis.

Get Involved

Southport Catholic Parish is one of the largest Parishes in Australia. We now encompass areas from Runaway Bay in the North and Surfers Paradise in the South.

Faith Life

"Spiritual progress tends toward ever more intimate union with Christ." (CCC 2014). This is a journey that lasts a lifetime and should be continually nourished by ongoing spiritual formation.

Community Life

Like everything on the Gold Coast more is being demanded of us, especially in the area of social care and welfare. It is in this area that there needs to be significant development in the future and, with God’s help, we will be able to further the reign of God here on the Coast.

Opportunities to Serve

The challenge of ministering to a mobile community, and a rapidly changing church, are no less in significance than those facing our early pioneers. There are many ways that you can serve both in and beyond the Parish.

DISCOVER A BEAUTIFUL FAITH IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. Over the years, there have been an untold number of questions and objections raised about the Catholic Church’s teachings and practices. The answers are there, and it’s worth your time to find them. As the Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen once said, “There are not even 100 people in this country who hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they think the Catholic Church to be.” The Lord wants us all to know and understand His truth, so we can embrace it wholeheartedly and live by it. Christ reminds us, “The truth shall make you free” (John 8:32).

Lockdown has lifted! Masks will be mandatory. Face masks must be worn in indoor spaces where you can’t physically distance. You must carry a face mask with you at all times whenever you leave your home, unless you have a lawful reason not to.
