Archbishop Peter is calling on laypeople and clergy in the Archdiocese of Melbourne to consider how might we invite people into the fullness of the Gospel of life, and do so with a renewed sense of vibrancy and vitality. Meetings between the Archdiocese and parish representatives and clergy have commenced and parishes have been encouraged to engage in discussions as a community to discern how we might re-imagine our parish community as part of a Mission.

Thank you for visiting our site, which we hope has been informative and easy to navigate.

Situated the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, and an easy 30 minutes drive from the city via the Eastern Freeway, our parish offers our congregation pastoral and social supports for the various age groups, including children’s liturgy at mass for the young, sacramental classes for the primary school aged, youth group, parish celebrations and womens’ and mens’ social groups. Our parish leadership team is also continually looking at ways to engage the community and help grow its faith and mission.

“Faith makes us walk with Jesus on the roads of this world, in the certainty that the power of His Spirit will bend the forces of evil, subjecting them to the power of God’s love.” – @ Pontifex Jul 6 2020

 

May the love and peace of our Lord be with and in you. Amen.
