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 in word, deed and service.” – 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. |

OUR LADY HELP OF CHRISTIANS NATIONWIDE HOLY ROSARY
Our Lady Help of Christians Nationwide Holy-Rosary will be held at our church and in churches across Australia on Saturday, 25th May between 2-4pm. We invite all our parishioners to come together united in prayer with the Blessed Mother Mary for God’s peace and love in our lives. This year, prayers will be focused on vocations and those in Australia who are suffering from conflict, famine, accidents, abuse, sickness, homelessness or natural disasters. For those who are unable to make it to our Parish, they can pray in their homes via zoom. Our Lady Help of Christians has in the past come to the aid of Christians, especially when many people have prayed the rosary together. It is hoped that by praying altogether our faith will be nourished and strengthened by the fruits of the Holy Rosary and the intentions of Australia will reach the heart of our Heavenly Mother and given to her Son. |
