Goondiwindi Parish History:Our parish forbearers were a pioneer people managing the hard work and isolation with courage and generosity. They cleared rough bush and endured harsh climatic conditions with little or no water. Churches were built with volunteer labour and funds raised locally - Stories are still told of people carting timber etc. The Catholic education of their children was top priority. Role models were clergy, religious, family. Goondiwindi today is a vibrant caring friendly and sports loving community of rich farming lands and rural business, this plus the meeting of five major highways - like spokes flowing into the hub of a wheel - makes us a prosperous community with many and varied social/community events such as Anzac Day, Spring Festival and Picnic Races to name a few. However we are yet to address the issue of our indigenous sisters and brothers. Our church culture reflects these traits. There is a strong Ecumenical spirit with events such as Festivals and Church services. We have a small Filipino group that bring their Culture and colour to our lives. We strive to witness to gospel values where all are encouraged to work with the wider community whilst endeavouring to make sense of the secular and sacred in our every day life. |
