St Mary's Church Restoration

The current St Mary’s Church has served the Bairnsdale community for over 100 years. We are rightly proud of its history.

The challenge now is to ensure this legacy continues for generations to come.

Those who have gone before us have given us a wonderful gift of a beautiful Church. It falls to us now to preserve this building for those who will follow in our footsteps.

St Mary’s needs your help to restore and maintain it's historic Church building.

Parish Retreat

29 April – 25 May 2019

This retreat is designed for people just like you. It allows you to continue your ordinary daily life with its usual round of going to work, caring for the family or whatever is the shape of your busy life. You don’t need any special qualifications.

It is an excellent form of retreat for busy people, since it links prayer with our experiences and helps us to recognise the presence of the Lord in a variety of happenings. Your reflection/prayer is done alone, at home or in some quiet place, and at a time convenient to you.

The retreat will guide your prayer and reflection on life within your daily routine.

All you need is the desire to open yourself to God and the generosity to take some practical steps to find time for prayer.
