• Apostleship of the Sea

  • The Apostleship of the Sea was established in the mid 1920s in Australia, to care for the spiritual and social needs of seafarers. The Seafarers’ Centre in our Parish assists around 600 seafarers each month. We provide for their spiritual needs, both with a chapel and on-board ministry, regardless of race, colour, creed or gender. We also liaise with government and non-government agencies on seafarers’ health and well-being, as an advocate for abused seafarers. An important objective of the organisation is to keep families in touch and give respite to those with the most dangerous and marginalised occupation in the world today.

• St Padre Pio Prayer Group
  • Padre Pio was a special child of God blessed in many wonderful and mysterious ways. The most dramatic was the stigmata, which he received in 1918. Among this humble priest’s gifts were prophecy, conversion, reading of souls and miraculous cures. The prayer group was founded by a parishioner following a remarkable cure after praying to Padre Pio. Contact: presb@pacific.net.au or 3393 4980

  • Regular St Padre Pio Celebrations. The late Eileen Harnett, like many others graced with extraordinary favours from this great mystic and stigmatist of our times, desired and eventually obtained the consent to set up a Prayer Group officially in this area. It is an opportunity for anyone to participate in Prayer, Mass, Devotions and words to recall the impact of this saintly Capuchin on our world. Come along to Guardian Angels Church, 198 Bay Terrace Wynnum for a gathering from 7.30pm to 9.00pm on the 3^rd Mondays of every month, unless otherwise made known in the Parish Bulletin (published weekly on this website).
