The Passionist Family Group Movement was established in 1972 by Fr Peter McGrath cp.

The aims of the family groups are:
  • To enable members to get to know other members of the parish community
  • To show and share support in each other’s joys and sorrows, thus building a Christian community
  • Involving the children in Christian sharing directly, if possible, if not, then indirectly by example
  • “Love one another as I have loved you”
​

Quite simply, it is a family for all!

It is a calendar of social gatherings at the time and place the individual group chooses. The group shares in fun times, from dinner and games at home to visits to parks and wetlands etc – all at a reasonable cost or BYO. No gathering is compulsory but times shared together, getting to know fellow parishioners, brings great enjoyment. All persons are welcome and we certainly want you to know and feel you are part of that family.

Currently the “Bramblers” is the Parish’s most long standing family group and all are welcome to their gatherings.  Up and coming events are advertised both in the Parish weekly newsletter and in the events posting on this website.
