Our Mission
Our Mission is to continue growing as a community where people can meet Jesus Christ and grow in his life and mission in the Catholic Faith.
The spirituality our parish mission is expressed best in the parish prayer of St Therese of Avila.
Christ has no body on earth but yours;
no hands but yours;
no feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which he is to look out-
Christ's compassion to the world.
Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good.
Yours are the hands with which he is to bless others now.

OUR VISION
To be a Parish that is open and transparent, nurturing, united and inclusive.
To be a community that is welcoming, embracing and caring for families, youth and valuing cultural diversity.
To be a Parish that brings those who do not know Christ into relationship with him.

by Helen Brown, Chairperson - Parish Pastoral Council
Sunday’s Multicultural Mass was a truly joyful and uplifting celebration of diversity, togetherness and faith. The atmosphere was harmonious, respectful, and deeply inclusive, creating a powerful feeling of oneness and unity among everyone present. From the vibrant Sinulog dancers to the Prayer of the Faithful offered in various languages, every moment reflected the beauty of our shared cultural richness.
National flags were displayed, traditional dress proudly worn, and voices raised in prayer and song all came together to create a special sense of acceptance and belonging. Fr Pierre reminded us through his heartfelt words that our voices are being heard, that we are all valued and loved, and that we must continue to raise our voices with confidence and hope. It was a moving celebration of who we are as one community – different in culture, yet united in faith – embracing diversity while standing together as one.

FAITH EDUCATION

Understanding the documents of Vatican II – Pope Leo
Recently Pope Leo began a series of talks at the Wednesday General Audience, with catechesis on the documents of Vatican Council II. He began with the Dogmatic Constitution Dei Verbum, on the divine Revelation: an important document of the Council. In the words of Jesus: “No longer do I call you servants …”, (Jn 15:15). Jesus Christ has transformed our relationship with God to a relationship of friendship. The only condition of the new covenant is love.
In the Christian Revelation, that is, when God took human form in his Son, the Covenant is new and eternal, and nothing can separate us from God’s love. As in the experience of human friendship, the relationship is nurtured by the exchange of true words.
The document reminds us that God speaks to us, and by speaking to us, God is revealed as one who invites us into friendship. So, the first attitude to cultivate is listening, so that the divine Word may penetrate our minds and hearts. At the same time, we need to speak with God, to reveal ourselves. Prayer calls us to live and cultivate friendship with the Lord.
For community liturgical prayer, the readings of the Word of God are already chosen for us, because we follow the liturgical cycle. So we need to make time for prayer, meditation and reflection on those readings, as an important part of the Christian’s day and week.
