The Harp

The Harp is the quarterly parish magazine issued during Easter, Winter, Spring and Christmas. Notices are published in the parish bulletin six weeks before publication, inviting contributions from parishioners.

The Harp, is a forum for all parishioners to tell stories, express opinions and share some news. In particular, we would encourage the various parish groups and school community to use The Harp as a platform to share their news and stories. Our aim is to increase Parish involvement and hopefully, enjoyment. Over time, The Harp will be a rich reflection of the life of St Patrick's Summer Hill.

If you have any interesting stories/photos/jokes, please send them using any of the following methods:

- email to Anne Marie George: ansyg@iprimus.com.au,
- fax to: (02) 9799 4641,
- leave at the Presbytery, or
- give to any member of The Harp Team (Patricia Singleton, Martina McEldowney, Thuy Luu, Anne Marie George,Jean Burns, Maureen Priestly) or to Pat Maher or Pam Ruxton.

Easter edition of The Harp's Closing date is 4 March 2012.

Please pick up a complimentary copy of the magazine from the table in the centre aisle of the church. Your contributions to The Harp are most welcome.
