Recent News and Events at Eastern Bays Catholic
On August the 3rd, our parish community came together for a night of trivia, laughter, and camaraderie at The Great Quiz Night. This special event was organised to raise funds for the much-needed refresh of our parish center, and we are thrilled to announce that we raised an impressive $3,350!
The night was filled with challenging questions, friendly competition, and plenty of laughs. Teams battled it out across various categories, with everyone contributing to the lively atmosphere. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces, along with some new ones, all coming together for a common cause.
We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, and donated. Your generosity and support have brought us one step closer to our goal of revitalising our parish center, making it a more welcoming and vibrant space for all.
Stay tuned for more updates on the parish center’s refresh, and we look forward to seeing you at our next event!
Many thanks to our wonderful Quiz master Kathy Parsons and her husband Allan, without whom the night would not have been possible.
