Donations Welcome

When this milestone was celebrated 50 years ago
  • There were approximately 120 children attending OLMC School
  • Over 300 past and current parishioners attended the Golden Jubilee Ball
  • 600 people, men women and children, attended the Jubilee BBQ
  • Hundreds of parishioners gave food, money and time to make the event a huge success
As the number of parishioners these days is so small, the Parish would be very appreciative of any financial assistance past parishioners or community members may be able to give to assist with the costs of the Centenary Celebrations.
