Welcome to our website....Let it be both an entrée into our community and an ongoing source of information about how we try to live out our vision which is “To Follow The Example Of Jesus By Serving Others.” – I hope you accept that that’s a goal and not a boast about where we are now!
I want to give you a bit more of a welcome than this so, if you’d like more… click here. |

”Christian faith is not a private matter. It shapes how we live our lives in public, as well as how we relate to God. Politics can be the object of criticism, even scorn, but it is an arena in which we can express our faith and therefore the truth of our humanity. As citizens who are Catholic, we have the opportunity to participate in the electoral process, to use our voice and our vote for the benefit of the whole community. As bishops, we offer this statement as a way of sharing key points of Catholic teaching that you may want to reflect upon as we prepare for the federal election… We all have a role in promoting peace – which means speaking to our fellow Australians with love not hate, with respect not contempt, with understanding not indifference..” There is a hard copy of the statement at the back of the church and it can be found online at https://www.catholic.org.au/

PLENARY COUNCIL 2020 – Listen to what the Spirit is saying www.plenarycouncil.catholic.org.au
PLENARY COUNCIL PROGRESS: Have you wondered what’s happening to all the ideas we’ve given and who gave them. Here’s some interesting information: The data comes from the National Centre for Pastoral Research (NCPR) which reported 17,457 submissions received by the Plenary Council Office about church life in Australia. This represents 222,000 people. The number of submissions were as follows: Melbourne 2,440; Brisbane 2,269; Perth 1,601; Sydney 1,550; Wollongong 1,451; Parramatta 1,038; Broken Bay 930. WHO sent the INDIVIDUAL submissions? 49% from women, 29% from men, and the remainder did not enter gender. What else about the INDIVIDUAL submissions? These people identified as: 9,195 Catholics; 364 Christian; 114 non-Christian; 312 non-religious; and many who didn’t give any affiliation. (Thanks to Len for finding this information.)
