TRAGEDY IN ST VINCENTS CHURCH, SURFERS PARADISE 24/2/19

On Sunday 24th February 2019, a tragic incident occurred in one of our Parish Churches: Saint Vincent's Catholic Church, Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast. A Young man climbed onto the roof of the Saint Vincent's Church in the early hours of the morning, while the church was closed, and fell through a skylight in the roof and fell ten metres to the floor. He passed away from his injuries in the church.  I and the Catholic community of Surfers Paradise extend our heartfelt and deepest sympathies to the family and friends of those involved in this tragic incident.  We are praying for all involved and we will continue to keep them in our thoughts and prayers. 

May he Rest in Peace. 

Sincerely, 

Fr Paul.
