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
The world, along with the millions of Catholics, celebrated the election, by the Conclave of cardinals, of Robert Francis Prevost. His introduction on the balcony of St Peters Square as Pope Leo XIV heralded a pontificate of hope and peace. His first words to the world, “Peace be with you all,” disarmed, disarming humble peace. God loves us all, unconditionally. I would like peace to reach your families, all peoples, all the earth.”
What a beautiful, inclusive welcome from Il Papa. Our world would certainly be a better place if we could all take this request to heart and put it into action.
The Parish hosted the ARCC multifaith walk on Tuesday this week. Participants were welcomed by Ray Lowe and shared prayer a cold drink and a snack before setting off to St Boniface on the way to the Uniting Church. This walk was to pray for the new Federal government that they will prioritise Climate Justice and environmental issues particularly when considering development applications.
The Parish Pastoral Council is committed to following our sustainability plan and working towards achieving goals, bringing about lasting change.
We welcome Father Pierre home after a well-earned break. He was quickly back into the swing of things, running the Clergy Professional Development Days the day of his return.
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
by Sr. Christine Clarke, PBVM
NEW LIFE
Easter is the time when we both remember and celebrate the new life which has come to us through our Risen Lord. What is this ‘new life’?
The word ‘new’ appears several times in today’s readings. The passage from Revelation speaks of a “new heaven”, a “new earth” and a “new Jerusalem”. Jesus in the Gospel speaks of a “new commandment”.
This “new life” that the Scripture speaks of can be a ‘conversion’, a turning round (Greek, metanoia). It means a radical change of vision and of our priorities in life. It means new attitudes, new values, new standards of relating with God and with people and indeed with the whole living environment of which we are part.
Today’s Gospel speaks of the foundation and heart of Jesus’ teaching and message. These are his parting words to his disciples before he goes to his Passion and death. He tells us to love other people—and to love them as he has loved us. This, he says, is a “new commandment”.
To incorporate that level of love surely calls for a new way of thinking, of seeing, of behaving and of interacting with other people. And it will be the test, the only valid test, of whether I truly love God as well.
