Thank you so much for a beautiful Holy Thursday evening celebration of the Eucharist. Truly a reverent beginning to the Paschal Triduum.

Thank you Fr Geoff. My mother (Mitzi Akers) has been attending mass at St Macs for just over 70yrs and I have recently returned to Mornington to care for Mum who has suffered a stroke. Being able to attend mass remotely at this time has given us both great joy.
Thanks Father Geoff – make sure you stay well – we need you!
Thank you for this spiritual lifeline, Father – it gives us hope and connection; I finally feel truly that Holy Week CAN be offered in a holy, connected way via ‘remote’. Thanks to your team too!
“God bless us, every one”.
Thank you, it has given me peace to be part of your Mass today.
My wife loved being able to attend your Mass today from our self isolation in the Noosa hinterland. We are members of the Noosa Parish. A great initiative from your Parish. We are on our on-line spiritual road trip and love attending Mass in various regions of our country. Thank you Fr Geoff and to you and all your parishioners god bless and stay well.
God was “truly present” in this Palm Sunday service. Thank you. God’s presence was with us especially as we listened to such an inspiring and explanatory homily. Mornington has been given a great opportunity by you, Father Geoff to “become more Christ like.”I pray that we listen to your call and place our trust in the Lord our saviour.
Thank you Fr Geoff for a wonderful Mass. The last hymn sums it all up. Jesus is Lord no matter what happens. May we be ready for when he calls us.
Blessings to you.
Thanks Father Geoff for providing us with mass in this way. You don’t realise how much you miss something until you can’t do it. We really appreciate the effort you have gone to.
Thank you Father Geoff and team. Great initiative that means the world to my mum.
Best wishes

Stay safe & may our loving God be with us all at this time.
A bit tardy in catching up with this but thanks Fr Geoff and the production team for the opportunity to share the Mass, for the heartening message, and for the excellent quality in the production.
Just watched this with Mum; she is staggered by the technology, and loves what you have done with it!
Thankyou

Thanks for showing and sharing the Mass and for sending the Bulletin so that we can be part of the Mass
Hi Father Geoff. Thankyou so very much for bringing the most Holy Mass to us in our home. The four of us gathered in our lounge room to watch mass on our TV. It was like being at church with every one. We even printed the church bulletin and followed the readings with you. The picture was clear and audio just fine, though your mic was a little muffled father…. but clear enough to follow you. Thankyou to all who made your Mass available to us. We were truly present with you. We look forward to coming back and celebrating in person with you. Until then, see you on-line next week. God Bless and keep all our parishioners well. Warm regards, Don, Leanne, Alyssa and Cameron Brooks.
Thank you very much Fr Geoff for keeping our Parish connected.
Wonderful way to start our Sunday. Thank you
Thankyou for serving us in this time Father Geoff with the consolation of the Eucharist ….so blessed that you were able to bring us into our church …..our familiar place of Worship with all the Spiritual Blessings as we participated here at home…Your points in the Homily …..all amazing and so welcome. We ask Father God bless and keep you safe .
Thank you very much father, very much appreciated. Really good production.
Good Morning Father.

Love from the Guesties
Fantastic to be able to participate in the celebration of the mass. Thank you Fr Geoff for making it possible for us to connect with the St Macartan’s community. We felt very much part of your “virtual” congregation, to pray and sing and reflect made the experience very real. Keep up the great work, see you next week.
Thank you so much Fr Geoff, we really appreciate being able to attend Mass in our home at these very difficult times.
Thank you Father, it is wonderful to be able to view the Mass from our own parish.
Thank you for bringing the Mass into our home.
Thanks Fr Geoff. It was lovely to be able to ‘attend’ mass this morning. We really appreciate all the effort it would have taken to put this together. We hope you are able to continue as long as needed. Thanks again & stay well.
Barry and Jill Morris say: We really appreciated the chance to attend Sunday Mass celebrated by St Macartan’s PP Father Geoff. Thanks to all involved.

Thank you Fr. Geoff, a lovely Palm Sunday Mass. Take care Rosemarie Mahony
Thank you Father Geoff for this Palm Sunday Holy Mass. I felt I was present there with you. The reflection song was so beautiful and so full of meaning. I was so overcome with love in my heart and tears in my eyes. I am not a member of the Mornington Parish. My son Stephen is and he has told me about this Mass. I am a parishioner of St. Thomas More, Mt. Eliza.
Thank you so much for organising this Mass. May God bless you always and keep you safe.
Thank You Father, Stay well.
Thanks once again, Fr Geoff for sharing the liturgy on Palm Sunday, even though you appeared to be alone for the Eucharist , we felt very much with you during the celebration. During the week I was able to go to the last mass video & replay your homily which allowed me time to reflect and deepen my understanding of the readings. I have invited friends and family members not in the parish to also take part in the video mass. Kind regards, Carmel & Michael McGrath
We are very thankful for the Holy masses & were very blessed to be able to access the 3.00
pm ceremony as well.
Thank you Father Geoff & helpers.
