In early 1999, we introduced Family Groups to the Parish. The Family Group Movement has been
active in Australia for many years and basically consists of forming groups within the Parish
for the building of community. Each group would meet regularly, at least once a month, usually for
some social gathering. The groups ultimately would also provide mutual support in times of need.
Not only families can belong to "Family Groups". Each group consists of married and single people,
young and old, children and adults. In our Parish, we have linked the Family Groups with our Neighbourhoods.
Since the Neighbourhoods are our basic unit of community, each of the Family Group draws members from
several adjacent Neighbourhoods so that the members of each Family Group also have a relationship in
terms of Neighbourhood.
If you would like to be included in a Family Group, please contact the Parish
Office and this will be arranged through our overall coordinator of
the Family Groups within the Parish. |
