Celebration of St James – The Parish and School Community will celebrate the Feast of our Patron St James on Sunday 26 July at the 9.00am Family Mass.  More details will be advised closer to the event.

Diaconate Ordination – The Augustinians are proud to announce the Ordination to the Diaconate of Minh-Tan Hoang OSA on Saturday 29 August  at 11.00am in St James’ Church by Bishop Joseph Oudeman DD.  Tan is currently studying at St Monica’s International College in Rome.  As a Deacon, he will preach and baptize and is authorised to officiate at marriages.  We are hopeful that Tan will be able to spend some time in ministry at St James and Villanova later in the year.

Celebration of Sts Augustine and Monica – The Parish will celebrate Augustine and Monica on the weekend of 29-30 August with a brunch to follow the Sunday 9.00am Mass.  We are hopeful that our new Deacon Tan will assist at this Mass.  Fr Dave will mark his 40th Anniversary of Ordination to the Priesthood and Sr Margaret Shannon her 50th Anniversary of Religious Profession that week end.

1.  FORMATION   On the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ we started a new page on our website.  The page is called Formation.  You will find a button to take you to the Formation page at the top of this page.
Each week we will have a short item to give you some deeper insights into your Faith.  More often than not, these will be based on the Gospel that we have read on this day.

2. SPECIAL YOUNG PEOPLE'S GATHERING  Following discussion at recent Parish Pastoral Council meetings, it has been decided to invite young people to come along and talk about what they’d like to see for young people in the Parish.  The proposed date is Sunday 5 July after the 6.00pm Mass, in the Priory.  Supper will be provided. We hope that Michael Dela Cruz, Augustinian Province Youth Officer, will be with us on the night.  Please contact the parish office or Linda to let us know that you are coming.  That helps with the catering!

3 .  The BOOK GROUP will reconvene on 3 July in the Priory after the 8:00am Mass.  We would love to welcome new members.

4.  The LITURGY COMMITTEE will met on Wednesday, 22 July, at 7:30pm in the Priory.

 

Following the Archbishop’s  request to the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Blessed Mary of the Cross MacKillop has been declared Patroness of the Archdiocese of Brisbane.
“I believe that the people of our parishes will receive this news with joy as we recognise the close association of this local Church with the life of Blessed Mary”.  There will be an appropriate recognition of this declaration in our Sesquicentary celebrations. We also note that this year is also the centenary of the death Mary MacKillop [August 8].

Prayer Group is held each morning prior to 8:00am Mass (from about 7:30) and lasts about 20 minutes.

Adoration including Holy Hour is held every Tuesday morning after 8:00am Mass.

Every Thursday evening from 6:30 to about 8:30pm.     
  Novena to Our Blessed Mother of Perpetual Help.     
Celebrate with Fr Michael Rego SM.     
Reconciliation during Rosary, Novena, Benediction and Holy Mass.

 

The members of the parish value the Sacraments as the instruments of God's Grace.  If you are about to receive one of these Sacraments for the first time or if you simply want to know more about these sources of God's help, click on The Sacraments at the top of the page and then choose the Sacrament you are interested in learning about.

We value and support the administration of the parish by the Augustinians.  We show this pride on our web site by placing the Augustinian logo at the top of every page in the site,  You can learn much more about the Augustinians, about St Augustine himself and about other Augustinian saints by clicking on The Augustinians button above.

St James's Parish has been an Augustinian Parish since 22 March 1952.  At the moment, the parish is in the care of Father David Austin OSA, the Parish Moderator.  To find out how you can contact Father Dave, click on The Parish button at the top of this page and then go to the Parish Directory.  You will also find many details about our parish such as Mass times listed under this heading.  We have also included a short history of the parish in this section.  Links to photo reports of events in the parish are found in this section.

The Prayer button at the top of this page will take you to the section devoted to the ways we communicate with God.  Here you will find a section designed to help you to improve your prayer life, another showcasing Augustine's ideas on prayer and a section which contains some of our formal prayers.  You will also find the readings for the Masses of next weekend in this section as well as Father Dave's weekly Pastor's Perspective - always a good read and thought provoking too!
