Fr John McKinnon’s 60th Anniversary of Ordination Celebrations

Celebrations for Fr John McKinnon’s 60th Anniversary of Ordination will be held on Sunday, November 26 (Feast of Christ the King) at St Mary’s Church Hamilton. Mass will commence at 10.30am and will be followed by a shared lunch in the foyer of the church. All are welcome.

We are a community of communities from the Murray to the sea.
Inspired by the Gospel and nourished by the Eucharist, we follow the example of Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, reaching out in joyful and humble service, caring for all of God’s creation, growing in love day by day and looking forward to life with God forever.

Diocesan Vision Statement

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands in which the Diocese of Ballarat sits. We would like to pay our respects to Aboriginal Elders past, present and future. Their wisdom can help us care for the earth, our common home.
