Seniors EventsThis is a lively group of older people who enjoy the
company and support of one another. Several gatherings are organized during the
year. Each one depends on the interest of the members. Events are announced in
our weekly newsletter.
Passionist Family GroupsThis is a ministry that began in Sydney in
1972 in the Passionist parish of St. Anthony in the Fields in Terrey Hills. It
is a lively and simple way of bringing together a number of families or
individuals into a “Family Group”. It is a rediscovery of the extended family
in a Christian style. They are asked to meet every month for a low-cost or
no-cost meeting or celebration. We hope that the Family Group will become a
tiny community within the bigger community of our parish. All are welcome.
No-one is excluded.
Members commit themselves on a yearly basis,
attending as they can the monthly gathering agreed in the calendar by their
Family Group.
Groups
consist of 10-15 family units, many with children, some without, or single parents.
There is room for everyone, married, single, divorced, old, young. After
members get to know each other, Family Groups members support each other in the
high and low times of life. They are
particularly popular with families who want to connect with other families, and
for those without an extended family in the vicinity.
Mens ClubThe Men’s Club has been operating for over 30 years, and meets
on the first Friday of the month in the Tim O’Toole Annexe from
7.30pm. Supper and a driver service is provided. Men of all ages are
welcome, Mens’ Club organises special activities through the year, such as Trivia
Night, Pizza Night, Father & Son Night, Footy Tipping
etc.
They
are generous in their support of groups like St Vincent de Paul Society and the
parish from their fund raising.
