Father Stephen will celebrate his final Ipswich Catholic Community Mass at St Mary’s Church on Sunday 30th November at 9am. This will be a gentle and meaningful moment for our parish family, made even more special as it also marks the Parish birthday. Everyone is welcome to come along and share in prayer, gratitude, and community. Morning tea will follow in the Parish Centre, and we would love to see you there.
Our official St Mary’s farewell for Father Stephen will be held at our Carols on the Oval event. It will be a chance for us to thank him, celebrate all he has given, and wish him well as he steps into his next chapter. We know this community will always hold a special place in his heart.
