Mass Schedule
The Mass
The Mass is the central sacred ritual of Catholic worship. It is about spending time with God and receiving His graces. At Mass, Catholics hear from Sacred Scriptures and participate in Holy Communion. The Holy Mass is celebrated every Sunday. The Parish of Our Lady and St. Dympna also has daily Masses. Mass times are below.
Children’s Church
Children’s Church occurs in the first half of the 9 a.m. Sunday Mass, on the 1st, 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month, during the school term. Children are invited to join Children’s Church leaders who explain the Scriptures of that day in an age-appropriate way. The children go to a room (JPII room) adjacent the church. Children are invited back to the church at the Offertory.

Holy Rosary
The Holy Rosary is a series of meditative prayers. These prayers are represented by a string of beads, called rosary beads, which are usually held in one’s hand to keep track of the prayers. Catholics are called to meditate on certain mysteries of Jesus’ and Mary’s lives when they pray the Rosary. The mysteries of the Rosary are different for each day and consist of the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious mysteries. At Our Lady and St. Dympna the Rosary is said: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday – 6:00 a.m. Saturday – 8:30 a.m. On most Tuesdays at 9:45 a.m. in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel, there is a prayer group, that follows the tradition of praying to Jesus through Saint Mary, called the ‘Cenacle of the Marian Movement of Priests’. The Rosary is said and a message, given interiorly to Fr. Stefano Gobbi by Our Lady starting back in 1972, is read. Other prayers are recited and the Devine Mercy Chaplet. This takes a little over an hour. If you wish to join this group, please contact: Louise Dutton on 0407 023 603.
Adoration
Catholics believe during the Mass when the bread and wine are consecrated that they become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. Sometimes more bread and wine are consecrated than is needed to be distributed at Communion at a single Mass. And while the Blood of Christ is consumed, the Body of Christ, called the Blessed Sacrament, can be kept and distributed to the sick or at another Mass. A priest can also show the Blessed Sacrament to the congregation for an extended time in a liturgy called the Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. The priest displays the Blessed Sacrament in a golden frame, called a monstrance, so that the congregation can look upon Jesus and adore Him. This a contemplative time when people can pray while gazing upon Jesus and is commonly called Adoration. At the end of Adoration, the priest will cover himself in a humeral veil, hold the monstrance aloft and bless the people with the Blessed Sacrament within it. This blessing is called Benediction.
