BROOKLYN PARK/RICHMOND

CATHOLIC PARISH

Pilgrim Mother Icon

One of the customs of the Schoenstatt movement is to have an icon of Mary travel to people's homes. We read in Luke's Gospel that after the Annunciation, Mary goes with haste to the home of her cousin, Elizabeth in order to help her in her own pregnancy.

Mary Is a great helper and a welcome visitor. Parishioners can nominate to receive the icon at home for a week as a way to welcome her powerful prayers and help for our families. You can request the Icon more than once!

The Pilgrim mother Icon began her Pilgrimage with Mass on the Feast of the Visitation, 7pm Monday, May 31, 2021 at St John Bosco Church.

If you would like to receive the icon for a week, please contact pilgrim@brooklynparkrichmond.org.au

Please return the icon to St Aloysius Church before the 11am Mass on Sunday so that the next family on the roster can start their visit with Mary.

How to Make a Financial Contribution to the Parish

Easter 2023 we reinstated the practice of the collection plate being handed around the Church at Mass (this was stopped in 2020 because of COVID)...
There are occasions when we are unable to attend Mass in the Parish for various reasons (illness, vacation)... So how else can you make an offering to the parish?
