Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) Update

 

Hello fellow parishioners! Just a quick note to let you know that the council and the executive have each met once in February this year to continue work in defining the parish Vision,Core Values and Mission Statements. These are important definitions that we need to recognise if we wish to develop the kind of parish we all want now and in the future. The outcomes will become tenets that we can all embrace and follow confidently together in support of all parish activities. Father George and the PPC will continue this work in March with the aim of producing draft versions of these important items for the whole parish to review and comment on. We have been guided by the work done by Bishop David and his team in defining the Vision for the Broken Bay Diocese and other examples of christian groups who are determining the direction they wish to travel in the future. We will keep you updated on progress, please pray for our guidance as we continue this important task.

Ash Wednesday 2010

 

This year, as we enter the season of Lent, it is appropriate to think of our neighbours, in this case from our sister Parish of Soibada in East Timor. We were privileged to have Fr Abel, Parish Priest of Soibada, here in the Parish to concelebrate the combined school and Parish morning Mass on Ash Wednesday.

Fr George described the poor state of the Soibada school and lack of facilities (no desks, dirt floor, lack of teachers, lack of materials....) and suggested we could think and pray about Soibada for a meaningful Lenten project and perhaps contribute financially. People generously donated to this cause at the end of Mass.

Fr Abel presented a traditional East Timor shawl as a gift. You can see other photos by clicking the Photo menu item near the top right of the page.

Babette\'s Feast
Gabriel Axel

On the desolate coast of Denmark live Martina and Philippa, the beautiful daughters of a devout clergyman who preaches salvation through self-denial.  Both girls sacrifice youthful passion to faith and duty, and even many years after their father's death, they keep his austere teachings alive among the townspeople.  But with the arrival of Babette a mysterious refugee from France's civil war, life for the sisters and their tiny hamlet begins to change.  Soon , Babette has convinced them to try sonething truly outrageous a gourmet French meal! Her feast, of course, scandalizes the local elders.  Just who is this strangely talented Babette, who has terrified this pious town with the prospect of losing their souls for enjoying too much earthly pleasure!

The Catholic Parish of Pittwater is part of the Diocese of Broken Bay. From October 2008, it has been under the care of the Salvatorian Order.

 

Pittwater is a large expanse of water bordered by National Park and suburbs. A tombola separates Pittwater itself from the ocean, which boasts a number of picturesque and popular beaches.

 

The Parish is situated at the "top" end of Sydney's famed "Northern Beaches". It extends from and includes the suburb of Warriewood in the South and Palm Beach in the North plus those in between. It includes the suburbs of Church Point, Scotland Island, Lovett's Bay, Elvina Bay, Coaster's Retreat and Mackerel Beach to the West.

"My prayer is that this Parish of Pittwater is going to be a community of HOPE providing spiritual nourishment to ALL"

 

The Laity plays a major part in Pittwater Parish. Here is a video celebrating the role of the laity. It will give you an idea of what happens in the Parish.

The music is provided by our very own Soul Band and the third section was composed, sung and self-accompanied by Lauren from our Parish.
