elcome to our new web site. We hope and pray that it will inspire you to investigate how a relationship with Jesus Christ might bring you  peace, joy and fulfilment or encourage you to come and worship with us.

A word about the design. The background of rough timbere symbolises the cross on which our Saviour sacrificed himself so that we might be saved. The banner symbolises the main centres of our parish, which is dominated by 3 mountains — Mt Cooroy, which overlooks the town of Cooroy wherein is The Church of the Holy Nativity. Mt Cooroora overlooks Pomona, which has The Church of the Good Shepherd. And Mt Pinbarren is on the way to Kin Kin where St Luke’s is our centre there. The 4th centre is at Boreen Point, housed in a cottage which was given to the parish by Ms Roberts and is hence named Roberts’ House.

The crosses on the top of each mountain symbolise Christ’s sovereignty over our community and the 3 crosses on Golgotha where Jesus made His once and for all time sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins.

Area Deanery Lay Conference brings Sunshine Coast parishes together

On Saturday 22nd May the 8 parishes that make up the Sunshine Coast deanery came together for a lay conference at Holy Trinity, Kawana Waters. It was a very fruitful day as the parishes shared their different outreaches, approaches and ministeries.

Cooroora Parish gave three presentations; the first on using the web; then a video presentation on the Row Program outreach and finally our Priest in Charge, the Rev. Julie Woolner presented on the diocesan Back To Church program. The presentations can be downloaded here.

The conference opened with worship which, although in a contemporary style, was enthusiastically embraced by all who, regardless of age or parish, joined in praising the Lord with hands upraised

Parish Weekend

We are planning a parish mission weekend with the Little Brothers of Francis who are based at Tabulam in Northern NSW from 10th to 12th September. Our weekend will commence with a social function on Friday night in the Cooroy hall. Saturday will include either a quiet morning or afternoon in Kin Kin and then our regular morning worship on Sunday at Pomona and Cooroy.

We will conclude our weekend with Evensong, where Brother Howard and Brother Wayne will teach us plainsong chant and some other accompaniments for canticles so we can all participate. We will floow this with dinner at the RSL for anyone able to attend.
