Blessed John XXIII Parish Church for Glenwood-Stanhope Gardens

On Saturday March 3rd the first Mass was held in the new Church of Blessed John XXIII. This is the parish church of the children who attend Holy Cross Glenwood and there was much excitement last Monday when the children told us of being at Mass in their new Church. Previously Masses were held in the library of Holy Cross Primary School so it was beneficial for the parishoners that the move came as the library was proving a small space for the growing numbers attending Mass there.

We congratulate the parishoners of Blessed John XXIII on their beautiful new church and wish them and Fathers Paul and Stephen a place where they will really feel "at home" with the Lord.

On Sunday 11th March the three schools of the Parish, Holy Cross and John XXIII Primary and St Mark's Secondary College, will celebrate with Fathers Stephen and Paul and the parish community the beginning of Catholic Schools Week in their new parish church.
