Celebration of Mass
Mass is the central sacred ritual of Catholic worship. It is about spending time with God and receiving His graces. At Mass, Catholics hear from Sacred Scriptures and participate in Holy Communion. Mass is celebrated Tuesday - Friday mornings, every Saturday night and on Sunday morning in our Parish and varying times in other churches around the Archdiocese of Brisbane.
Consecration
Catholics believe that when the bread and wine are consecrated during Mass, they become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. This is the source and summit of our faith.
Little Lanterns Liturgy
Have you ever wished your children would look forward to coming to Sunday Mass? On the first Sunday of each month, Ronda Vorrasi, Norma Martiri, Paul Vorrasi and Barb Holford present Children’s Liturgy of the Word. It’s a special time set aside for primary school children during the first half of the Mass where they can experience the Gospel at an appropriate level in a fun, engaging and personal way. Parents are welcome too!
Adoration
A priest can also show the Blessed Sacrament to the congregation for an extended time in a liturgy called the Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. The priest displays the Blessed Sacrament in a golden frame, called a monstrance, so that the congregation can look upon Jesus and adore Him. This a contemplative time when people can pray while gazing upon Jesus and is commonly called Adoration. At the end of Adoration, the priest will cover himself in a humeral veil, hold the monstrance aloft and bless the people with the Blessed Sacrament within it. This blessing is called Benediction.
Holy Rosary
The Holy Rosary is a series of meditative prayers. These prayers are represented by a string of beads, called Rosary Beads, which are usually held in one’s hand to keep track of the prayers. Catholics are called to meditate on certain mysteries of Jesus’ and Mary’s lives when they pray the Rosary. The mysteries of the Rosary are different for each day and consist of the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious mysteries. During the months of May and October, our Parish prays the Rosary together before each Mass begins.
