About US
The area in which St Flannan's Parish is situated was once beautiful rainforest country and home to the Turrbul (stone) tribe of this region. We recognise their long history and the care they gave to this land for thousands of years.
Baptism
The first sacrament where we become united with Christ and the Church – no other sacrament can be received without it. A priest performs this rite by pouring water over the baptismal candidate, therefore cleansing their original sin through water and the word. Baptism is the first Rite of Initiation.
Confirmation
Confirmation is the Sacrament by which Catholics receive a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Through Confirmation, the Holy Spirit gives them the increased ability to practice their Catholic faith in every aspect of their lives and to witness Christ in every situation. Confirmation is the second Rite of Initiation.
Holy Communion
CAt the heart of the Eucharist celebration (the Mass) are the bread and wine that, by the words of Christ and the invocation of the Holy Spirit, become Christ's Body and Blood; Holy Communion. Holy Communion is an intimate union with Christ. Holy Communion is the third Rite of Initiation into the life of Christ and His Holy Church
Reconciliation
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is founded on Jesus' call for repentance, his forgiveness of sinners, and his command that his followers forgive one another.
