Bishop Randazzo thanks volunteers, donors in Terrigal

Volunteers, parishioners, clergy and donors from the Central Coast gathered together at Our Lady Star of the Sea, Terrigal, joining Bishop Anthony Randazzo for a morning tea, thanking them for their support.

The event was a chance for Bishop Anthony to personally express his gratitude to all those who have contributed to Pastoral Works Broken Bay appeals, volunteer in their parishes and support the work of their priests.

Volunteers in parishes are a critical part of the Church’s function, allowing priests to focus on their sacramental and pastoral responsibilities. The volunteers also form a critical part of fostering the Parish community through events and initiatives.

Those who supported the Pastoral Works Broken Bay appeals helped to support the work the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) and Hospital Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care Program. It also supports St Lucy's School and St Edmund's College for students with disabilities and the Ephpheta Centre which supports the deaf community.

Bishop Anthony also thanked Fr Vince Casey, parish priest of Terrigal, and his parishioners, who hosted and helped put on the morning tea.
