Mission

Mission Minstry Team

As Christians we are called to Mission. The Mission Ministry Team meets on the third Tuesday of each month to discuss outreach opportunities. They oversee the placement of parish volunteers in the broader community with selected outreach centres that have been assessed to meet specific parish criteria.

They are responsible for the investigation and possible introduction of a Sister Parish (Partnering Program) with a parish in East Timor.

Opportunities for parishioners who are unable to contribute physically, but who still wish to be involved in mission, are provided by this team.

Prayer is an important part of any mission work and the Mission Ministry Team thanks you for yours.

Religious Education in State Schools    

Queensland Law permits all Religious denominations to teach Religious Education in State Schools. Of the 3 State Primary Schools in the area, our Parish provides 20 teachers at Albany Hills State Primary School. R.E. taught at the School is Christianity, crossing all denominational boundaries. Teachers’ ages range from the 30’s to Grandparents. Work and commitments claim some volunteers each year, so this ministry is constantly in need of new Teachers.

 • Full training given to each volunteer

• Teaching manuals provided

• Ongoing support given

• No teaching experience necessary.

 Time expenditure for each volunteer is one or two 1/2hr lessons per week, plus a couple of hours preparation. This varies according to the content of the Lesson and the enthusiasm of the volunteer. If you feel drawn to this ministry, we’d love to hear from you. “Come and see”

St Vincent de Paul Society

More than a Hand out, a Hand up

The Society within All Saints Parish is part of a worldwide Christian Community, established to help people in need, personally, materially, socially and spiritually. The conference members strive to develop their own spirituality and faith through prayer and discussion.

 We are committed to including the Parish Community in our activities through fund raising, supplying Christmas hampers and general assistance to families in need in the Albany Creek Area, as well as assisting students and conferences overseas in developing countries. The Society serves those in need regardless of creed, ethnic or social background, health, gender or political opinions. Each member has a contribution to make doing God’s work among God’s people.

 The Society meets fortnightly in the Parish Centre, with meetings normally taking about an hour. Members undertaking visits will always do so in pairs and visits to those needing assistance are usually in response to requests or as a follow up to previous visits. The number of visits per week varies from none to 3 or 4 which are shared out amongst members.
