This Commission covers the planning and vision of our faith community. Here we ensure new leaders and ministers are constantly renewed from parish membership. It is here we plan according to the promptings of God's Holy Spirit.

A Recent History
In 1988 the parishes of Redcliffe, Scarborough, Kippa-Ring and Woody Point amalgamated to form Redcliffe City Catholic Community. Fr John McKeon was appointed parish priest in 1993 and implemented the vision of one central place of worship. In 1997 the parish was named Holy Cross Parish - Redcliffe City. The history of our parish is contained in a separate publication obtainable from the parish office. On 1 November 1998 (the Feast of All Saints), Archbishop Bathersby, Bishop John Gerry, together with clergy, parishioners and many guests opened the new Holy Cross Church.

In a wonderful demonstration of faith on the Peninsula, this building was consecrated to Almighty God. Holy Cross Parish is proud not only of our magnificent new Church but of the unity it signifies. The symbolisms and many features of the new building are contained in our publication "A Walking Guide to Holy Cross Church" obtainable from the Parish Bookstore.

Spiritual Gift Directory
The NetWork program undertaken in 1998 assisted parishioners to name the spiritual gift they were offered at Baptism. To date, many are now involved, offering life-giving and fruitful ministry to the parish. We have assembled a database from which we are able to draw helpers for various pastoral and social activities. If you would like to offer your gifts, talents or skills, please contact the office.
