Welcome*** Community*** Hospitality***
WelcomeWelcomeWelcomeWelcome Last weekend marked the last Sacramental Program celebration
in our Parish with some candidates making their First Holy
Communion at the Holy Spirit Church, Mission Beach. Again, we
congratulate each and every one of them. To some, these
Sacraments may seem like just going through the motions of
being a Catholic. However (and as their teachers, Peta and I can
vouch for this) these students have been so excited…so filled
with joy…(even to the point of jumping up and down at the front
of the teacher’s desk!) that their absolute excitement in regards
to making their Confirmation and First Holy Communion has been
totally infectious. I am not completely sure, but I guess this
excitement stems from their genuine love of their faith and that
real sense of belonging to something much, much bigger than
themselves…something that fills their lives with hope and love.
And this of course, has been nurtured by their parents, family,
Tania, Geraldine, Jo and Fr Michael. Thank-you.
Community We would like to thank Miss Campbell and the Year 2 class
who recently held their class liturgy on the Holy Trinity. It was great to see some Mums and even a Dad attend!
What a wonderful way to show your child that you value their faith journey and spirituality. We would like to thank
Mrs Gaskell and the Year 6/7 class who led our Whole
School Reconciliation Liturgy yesterday. We would also like to thank Fr Michael for presiding at both celebrations.
Next Thursday at 9am, the Year 4 class are hosting their class mass; plus a little added celebration, with one of our
students making their Confirmation. Please feel very
welcome to come along and celebrate with us. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you to the parents and friends who RSVP’d to come along to the Christine Coop Emotional Energy Workshop being held next Tuesday the 24th of June at 6pm in the St Clare’s School Arts Centre. We came close to
filling the number of places we had available and we may not have been able to proceed if this was not the case. So my sincerest gratitude to those parents and friends who are taking the time to come along. We are very lucky to be able to hold something like this here in Tully and I sincerely thank Greg for making the funds available for this to happen. The workshop will
run for around three hours with a cuppa and dessert interval. We are very much looking forward to it and to seeing you there.
Happy Birthday to Mrs Bowden for today and Miss Gaffney who
is celebrating her birthday on Thursday!!! Happy Birthday ladies….
May you have a blessed week…
A Blessing for our Sacramental Program Candidates…. May God bless you, For wanting to walk with Him on your spiritual journey, For wanting to lead by example when the path isn’t clear, For wanting to wait and pray when problems slow your pace, For offering to fly when your Spirit wants to soar, May God bless you, Amen
Br Paul and Mr Tom O’Donnell from Catholic Education
Services addressing the students. Br Paul will be completing his role as Director at the end of this term.
Mr O’Donnell’s role is helping to set up Special Assistance School in our Diocese.

QUEENSLAND POLICE SERVICE
Tully Police Station 42 Bryant Street, Tully QLD 4854
With the June/July school holidays approaching it’s time for a friendly reminder about your holiday security. House break and enters are one of the most common crimes. In many instances house break-ins are crimes of opportunity with entry gained through an open or unlocked door or window.
Good home security is as simple as the following three basic steps:
1. Make it as difficult as possible for an offender to gain entry i.e. install and use key operated locks on doors and windows, don’t place keys under door mats or in obvious places.
2. Make it as difficult as possible for an offender to exit with your property i.e. use the key-operated locks on doors and windows, make sure alarms are functioning.
3. Make it as difficult as possible for an offender to want to steal your property i.e. engrave or microdot all items of value.
HOLIDAY SECURITY CHECK LIST – Have you?
• Locked all windows with key operated locks
• Locked all external doors with keys, including deadlocks
• Advised local Police you are away & provide contact details
• Locked all tools away to avoid having them used to break into your home
• Cancelled paper & mail deliveries or have mail redirected
• Asked neighbour or friend to collect junk mail & keep an eye on your property
• Disconnect electrical supply on garage door to avoid having it used as an exit point
• If you are leaving your car at home, ensure you either hide your keys or give them to a
trusted friend or neighbour for safe keeping. All keys should be kept out of sight.
• Locked valuables in a safe or bank safety deposit box
• Engraved belongings to act as a deterrent for thieves
• Left some clothing on the clothes line to give it a ‘lived in’ look
• Asked a trusted friend to park a car in your driveway to look like you have visitors
• Arranged for a friend or neighbour to mow your lawn
• Automatic timing devices switching lights on and off at specific times
• Turned down the volume on your telephone so it is not audible to possible offenders.
• Left the house looking like it is ‘Lived in”
• Lock up wheelie bins to avoid having them used to move property or as ladders
Please take extra care when driving & remember the Fatal Five- DRINK DRIVING, SPEEDING, SEATBELTS, FATIGUE & DRIVER DISTRACTION.
