  • HELP PREPARE FOR OUR WEEKLY MASS CELEBRATION

    For each Mass, we need people working behind the scenes who can help prepare the following:

    • Art & Environment artist.  You work with Terresa Fletcher as the Art & Environment Team Leader to prepare flowers and relevant displays in our church for specific occarions.
    • Prayer of the Faithful editor/writer.  Prayers are provided online which have been sourced from 'Pastoral Liturgy'.  This role requires people to contextualise the prayers so they are relevant to our parish and focus our intentions on specific issues of the day. People in this role would need access to the internet. No specific apps on the computer are required as the content is built in Google docs.
    • Prepare Mass Powerpoint.  For each Mass in both communities, we have a Powerpoint that supports our involvement in the liturgy.  Jason and David have created significant content to enable people to participate actively in our worship.  People in this role would need access to the internet and have reasonable skills with PowerPoint.
    • Media Ministry.  We are in need of people with reasonable video editing skills where audio content is matched with the lyrics of songs/hymns and saved as MP$ files. People in this role would need access to the internet and have reasonable skills in editing video is their own application of choice.
      Additionally, through the year, the Liturgy Committee is hoping to edit the Mass videos published during the Covid lockdowns to create Reflections on various themes from Fr Jorge & Sr Veronica's homilies.

    Please Note, these roles are not weekly roles, but may require a commitment for about a month (as you might be available) and rotated with others in the respective teams.

  • Working With Children Check

    St Alipius Parish prides on being a 'Child-safe community'. During the last 12 months the Parish has been asking for people to provide Working With Children Checks and we thank all those who have provided the documentation.  If you have a WWCC, this lasts for a period of 5 years.  However, if you are a teacher in a school we need an annual copy of your VIT registration card.

    Those who are not prepared to provide the parish office with a WWCC, you can only serve as a Reader or in the Procession of Gifts, but may not enter the sacristy before or after Mass.

    If you don't have a WWCC Bron can assist you at the parish office.
