The Mt Lawley Parish community have last weekend commenced celebrations of its 60thanniversary with the blessing of new chalices and communion paten.
In celebrating Mass on Saturday 17 September for the occasion, Parish Priest Fr Tim Deeter reflected on how the community had grown from a small but dedicated group of parishioners. Fr Brian Limbourn co-celebrated for the occasion.
“It was very appropriate that for 28 years, even before our parish was officially founded, the Mount Lawley and Menora overflow from Highgate Parish was meeting for Mass in the upper storey, the upper room of the small Montessori School on Learoyd Street,” he said.
“The community was growing, so the people asked the Highgate priests for a second Mass time – and they also wanted to have Benediction after Mass – no leaving Mass early for those hardy souls!
