ALTAR SERVERS

(from Year 5)

Children from Year 5 are welcome to join us as Altar Servers. They are instructed at special classes by our Parish Priest and put on a roster that is updated twice a year.  They are also given a Responsibilities Sheet, which helps them understand exactly what's involved.

BUDDIES PROGRAM

(Leaders from 16 to 30 years)

This program is a branch of St Vincent de Paul, where trained leaders  from our parish spend time with young people (aged 5-12 years) from disadvantaged families.  Time is spent either at the parish involved in fun activities or on outings to places like bowling, local parks, movies or the beach.  This provides much needed time out for families and encourages the participants to engage in positive recreational activities, make friends and have fun.

Our leaders (senior students / young volunteers) are encouraged to organise Buddies with the support of our Youth Co-Ordinator.  Schools can also provide valuable resources (eg pool, sports equipment, art and craft etc) and are often used as venues for Buddies' days.

YOUTH MUSIC TEAM

Made up of all ages, musicians (drummers / keyboard / guitar / trumpet etc), singers and sound desk operators come together to celebrate with the congregation using a selection of vibrant music.  Youth Band and Choir Rehearsal is every second Tuesday night of the month at 7.30pm and Every 4th Sunday of the month at 4.45pm.  Join our growing choir and musicians.
