Parish Bulletin Sunday 28 June 2026
Not from the Pulpit: Fr Richard Leonard SJ PP
This year’s larger parish dinner has sold out. I am delighted that so many parishioners want to enjoy this special parish annual event.
This week an inspection by Work, Health & Safety from the Archdiocese determined that while the SFX spire is generally safe it is showing signs of wear & tear. There we were ordered on Wednesday to erect a barrier fence around it. The fence will not interfere with the exit boom gate but we will have to work around it for funerals and usual parking for a period of six to seven months.
Our “Volunteer Safeguarding Register” needs to be submitted to the archdiocese next week. All registered volunteers have been sent an email requesting that they update their records, however a small minority
have not yet replied. If you have not responded, or received an email from Diana recently, please email safeguarding@northsydneycatholics.com as soon as possible. This also applies to any volunteers, particularly Eucharistic Ministers, who assist and have never completed any safeguarding compliance with our office. Please note that individuals who do not respond or are not listed on the register by 30th June 2026, will be archived, and not permitted to volunteer until they do so. This is necessary to ensure compliance with the archdiocese and to protect our parish from potential penalties.
