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.
2025 JUBILEE PRAYER
​​
​​​​​​​
​
​
Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel. May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us,
Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our
Redeemer throughout the earth. To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever. Amen.

SAFEGUARDING OFFICERS
As we gather in prayer and reflection during this sacred time of All Saints and All Souls, the Parish Pastoral Council extends heartfelt blessings to each of you.
All Saints Day reminds us of the countless holy men and women—known and unknown—who have gone before us, living lives of faith, courage, and love. Their witness inspires us to walk our own path of holiness, grounded in the Gospel and strengthened by community. We honour their legacy and ask for their intercession as we strive to be Christ’s light in the world.
On All Souls Day, we turn our hearts to those who have departed this life, especially our loved ones and members of our parish family. We remember them with love, pray for their eternal peace, and entrust them to God’s infinite mercy. This day invites us to reflect on the gift of life, the hope of resurrection, and the promise that we are never truly separated from those we love in Christ.
Let us come together in prayer, liturgy, and quiet remembrance. May these days deepen our connection to the communion of saints and renew our hope in the life to come.
Feel free to talk to any of these officers about any queries/concerns that you may have about the safeguarding of children or the vulnerable in our parish.

FAITH EDUCATION

Australians at the Synodal Jubilee
A number of Australians were in Rome last weekend for the Church’s Jubilee celebrations: for the Jubilee of Synodal Teams and Participatory Bodies. Hundreds gathered from around the world to be part of the Church’s commitment to walking together in hope and mission. The pope welcomed members of synodal teams and participatory bodies in the Paul VI Audience Hall in the Vatican.
Pope Leo XIV said the pursuit of synodality should strengthen the Catholic Church's mission of proclaiming the Gospel and help all Catholics learn to collaborate to make the world a better place. Many times Pope Francis had said that the purpose of synodality "is to help the church to be missionary, to announce the Gospel, to give witness to the person of Jesus Christ in every part of the world, to the ends of the earth."
Archbishop Timothy Costelloe SDB, led a seminar about synodal decision-making processes, noting there needs to be “a style, an attitude that helps us to be Church by promoting authentic experiences of participation and communion”. Essential elements are fidelity to the gospel and our fundamental identity as disciples of Christ.
The activities during the jubilee celebration included a pilgrimage and passage through the Holy Door at St Peter’s Basilica, workshops, a Marian prayer vigil and a Mass presided by Pope Leo.
