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
This week we officially welcomed our new PPC members with an induction session before the Parish Pastoral Council meeting. It was a truly invigorating experience to revisit the Parish Vision and Mission, our stewardship pillars and recall the elements of the Parish Pastoral Plan.
The PPC invites all parishioners to celebrate the Solemnity of our Lord, Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, at the 10am Mass at St Patrick’s Cathedral on 23 November. As part of this Mass, we will pray for and bless all who have been called to serve in the service of others. Parishioners are asked to bring a plate of food to share and enjoy a sausage sizzle.
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

Jubilee of Choirs
​
This Jubilee Year (Pilgrims of Hope) has seen an amazing array of groups in Rome to celebrate the Jubilee year. This weekend it is the Jubilee of Choirs. Choirs from around the world will be in Rome for performances, liturgical celebrations, and an audience with the Pope. If you happened to be in Rome this weekend, you would have the chance of listening to a visiting pilgrim choir - they will be singing in churches all round Rome.
The power of music carries the liturgical assembly beyond the text into a sense of the mystery of God. The liturgy is the action of Christ in which the whole community of the faithful participates.
No other sign brings out the communal dimension so well as singing, where many individual voices are fused together, blending into a single voice. Singing together fosters a strong bond of unity and sense of belonging; it helps to develop the unity of mind and heart which is part of the mystery of the Church.
Liturgical music is sung prayer. Ideally, hymn and song texts are grounded in the Scriptures and the liturgical sources (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, No. 121), providing images and metaphors that call the community to an ever deeper commitment to the Christian life, and using God's own word to sing the Lord's praise.
Liturgical musicians put in a great deal of time and effort to provide a service of the Church at prayer. We are grateful to all those who plan, practise and sing.
Introducing, Luce, the official mascot of the 2025 Jubilee Year. Luce means ‘light’ in Italian; also from Latin derivate of ‘lux’ which also means light.
