Faith Formation

Every Friday morning from 6:00am to 7:00am, the men’s morning prayer group meets in the Gathering Space to pray through the liturgy of hours together.

The liturgy of hours is a rich collection of scripture, prayers and reflections, that is traditionally recited by the Church across the world.

Each Friday morning session is a unique combination of communal prayer and conversation that leaves our souls deeply nourished by our time with the Lord, our hearts nourished by the time with one another and our intellects nourished by the thought-provoking discussion that ensues.

All men, young and less-young alike, are welcome and invited to come along. We hope to see you Friday morning at 6am in the Gathering Space.

We are a small group of women who meet in the Gathering Space each Monday night at 7pm to around 8.30pm.

We pray the Rosary together and the daily Vespers (Evening Prayer). On the first Tuesday of the month we have Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and pray the Rosary and Vespers. Confession, it is available at this time.

We conclude each night with a cuppa and chat for anyone who wishes to stay. During the school holidays on one of the Tuesday nights we invite our daughters /granddaughters to pray the Rosary with us and then finish by going out for ice cream.

This group is a great way to increase our faith and get to know other like minded women in our Parish. To share ideas, concerns and connect with Mary and our Lord. We are open to all women young and old in our Parish and would love to see new faces.

The youth ministry of St. Paul's Parish aims to foster a holistic approach in the growth of its members in order to be productive, inspiring and model individuals of the Catholic community. 

It promotes a family, Church and Christ centred relationship, which will help in strengthening understanding of the Catholic faith and building a harmonious community. 

The Youth Group runs once a month after the Saturday night youth mass in the hall and consists of some dinner, games and Catechesis. This group is aimed for children in Year 7 and up. 

For more information, please contact the Youth Ministry Coordinator on youth@mtgcatholic.org.au

Established in 2020, Little Lambs is a programme for children aged 3-5 years old and aims to build a community where Christian values and discipleship are promoted. 

Little Lambs provides an opportunity for children to begin and enrich their faith journey guided by the Holy Spirit, assisted by their parents and supported by their leaders and parish community.

We follow the liturgical seasons of the church and celebrate/commemorate feast days of the saints which are supported by individual and group activities and discussions, visual objects and games.

We gather in the St. Joseph Room every Thursday morning during the school term where we have created a sacred space for the children to discover and explore the stories found in the scriptures, the sacraments and the traditions of the Catholic faith.

Fifteen Minutes with Father is a catechism program aimed at primary school students. It is held periodically throughout the year at St Paul’s Church after the 11am Mass.
