Sunday 16th Feb­ru­ary – Par­ish Coun­cil Meets in the church after the 9.30am ser­vice and morn­ing tea.

There will be a memori­al mass for Hiro in the St Luke’s chapel at 10 am, Monday, 3rd March.  Hiro was a parish­ion­er at St Luke’s dur­ing Fr Mike Nix­on’s rect­or­ship and often played the organ.  Hiro left the par­ish for work in Cairns and then returned to Japan when he died of a stroke in July, 2021.  The reas­on for the time gap between Hiro’s death and the memori­al mass is that, when com­mu­nic­a­tion ceased between Hiro and his friends, it took the Pas­tor­al Care Com­mit­tee some time to ascer­tain what had happened to Hiro.
