Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide appropriate and valued support to the Irish and Irish Australian community in Queensland. We ensure that the Irish Diaspora:

Samhain (also known as “All Hallows Eve”) is one of Ireland’s oldest traditions. It was a time to mark the end of harvest, gather close and remember the loved ones who’d gone before us.

Long before pumpkins and trick or treating, our ancestors were carving turnips, lighting bonfires and dressing up to fool the spirits on Samhain night.

How do you celebrate? or tell us below what’s your favourite Halloween memory from back home? 💚👇

Join the Irish community as we come together to honour and remember our loved ones. This Mass will be celebrated in remembrance of the faithful departed. In the spirit of our rich Irish heritage, we will gather to celebrate the lives of those who have gone before us, holding close the traditions, stories and love they shared with us.

If you have the name of a loved one you would like remembered during the Mass, a Remembrance Booklet will be available at the entrance for you to add their name.

All members of the Irish Australian community, and indeed the wider community, are warmly invited to join us as we remember the contribution of those, we have lost and the significance their presence has made in our lives.

📅 Sunday, 1 November
🕰️ 10.30am
📍 Our Lady of Mt Carmel Parish, 312 Cavendish Road, Coorparoo

People of all faiths are welcome - love, remembrance and loss are universal.

Light refreshments will be served in the hall following the Mass, providing an opportunity to come together and connect as a community.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a n-anamacha.May their souls rest at the right hand of God.
