A warm welcome to the Catholic Parish of St John’s Wood/The Gap,
in the Archdiocese of Brisbane Queensland
Here you will find information on mass times and happenings within our parish.
Christmas Mass Times
Parishioners and visitors are invited to sign-up to Flocknote, our communication and engagement tool. Our Parish (and the Archdiocese of Brisbane) has officially adopted Flocknote for all parishes, as a safe, new, and improved way of communicating in parishes. Flocknote is free for parishioners to use, and there is no need to download anything. Your info is kept secure and private. It only takes a couple minutes to sign up to receive emails from the parish. You are even able to reply directly back to those emails so we can get feedback and hear from you.
Flocknote is an amazing engagement and communication tool that gives parishes the ability to easily gather all of their parishioner contact info, sacrament history, and planned giving history. Flocknote also helps parishes communicate with their flock through beautiful email newsletters, emails to ministry groups, and is also the place parishes will use to manage their volunteer records. This will give all our parishes a consistent communication hub and interface for all ministry and parish activity, while simplifying communication across the entire archdiocese.
As part of our transition period, we would like to invite our parishioners to register on our new database.
If you have any questions, please speak with the Parish office.
There is also a template of the registration form that can be printed for those who don’t have access to a phone or computer. If you need a paper form you will need to return it to the parish office and these forms will be added to Flocknote.
Parishioners and visitors are invited to use the link or QR code below and signup and register with the parish.

NET (National Evangelisation Teams) Australia
– CRAIG JOYCE
This Catholic outreach organisation had its origins in the USA and has spread to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Uganda, Ireland and Scotland during the past two decades. In Australia, small teams of NET-ers made up of young men and women have pursued a mission of evangelising young people and NET has already reached hundreds of schools, parishes and university communities nationwide. A few very generous members of the parish of St John’s Wood/The Gap have been active supporters of the NET movement and young NET-ers in different ways over many years. Currently, the parish families of Joe and Michelle Mead, and David and Sharon Joyce are willing hosts to NET-ers from other parts of Australia and overseas when in transit or having short breaks between NET commitments. Several other parish families have also been hosts over the years.
One of our young parishioners, Craig Joyce, has signed on to join a NET team in 2025 and this is already a wonderful blessing for our parish. However, Craig needs your support – your prayers and your financial help. Each NET-er is asked to raise a substantial sum in order to cover at least part of the food, lodging and transport costs involved. Craig will become better known to you in the coming weeks and will speak to you all in greater detail about his upcoming mission for NET. And therefore, please make yourself known to Craig and find ways to help him in whatever way you can.
You can participate in Craig’s mission by donating using the following link:
