Change of Mass Times - Sunday 4th Octoberposted on 2009-09-19As you may be aware, our Parish is celebrating the Feast of St Francis of Asisi with an outdoor mass with a blessing of animals. In discerning the most appropriate time for this mass it has been decided to hold this mass in the Kiama Church Grounds at 9.30am on Sunday Morning. This will entail a change of mass time for Sunday the 4th only, with no 8am Mass at Kiama and masses offered at Jamberoo and Gerringong at 8.00am rather than 9.30am | |
