The Last Things
2025-11-20 19:30 - 20:30, 2025-11-27 19:30 - 20:30 | NSW
LET’S TALK ABOUT THE LAST THINGS
DEATH | JUDGEMENT | HEAVEN | HELL
Join us in pondering what happens after we die.
Every Thursday in November (6th, 13th, 20th, 27th)
7.30pm – 8.30pm
Facilitator: Lisa Bright
https://catholiccemeteries-au.zoom.us/j/3702880236?pwd=[REDACTED]
PASSWORD: [REDACTED]
We hope you can join us for our online gatherings discussing THE LAST THINGS’ … pondering life and death, and what happens after death.
Life brings with it many questions about what happens beyond our time here. Topics like Death, Judgement, Heaven, and Hell inspire profound reflections, curiosity, and sometimes fear. In these online conversation events, we’ll explore the beliefs, traditions, and teachings that address these ‘last things’- concepts that have shaped humanity’s understanding of life, death, and the hope for what comes next.
Come along and join the discussion as we consider how these ideas can guide us in life and offer comfort on the journey toward what lies beyond.

Advent for Grieving Hearts Online
2025-11-25 19:30 - 20:30, 2025-12-02 19:30 - 20:30 | NSW
Advent for Grieving Hearts
A time to “rest beside the weary road” until, once again, “a weary world rejoices.”
Advent offers hope to those who grieve by affirming that grief is a valid part of the season and by pointing to a larger, ultimate hope. This hope is rooted in the belief that God is present in sorrow, that there will be a future time of healing and restoration, and that Jesus entered the world amidst brokenness.
“The people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.” Matthew 4:16
When: Tuesdays – 25 November and 2, 9, 16 December 2025
Facilitator: Lisa Bright
Time: 7.30pm – 8.30pm (AEDT)*
Where: Via Zoom meeting
Cost: Free
