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.

SAFEGUARDING OFFICERS
Due to the school holiday period, the Parish Pastoral Council meeting has been rescheduled and will now be held on 22 July.
Among the items to be discussed will be a review of the use of the pre-Liturgy commentaries, as agreed upon in 2025, to assess their effectiveness in supporting the prayerful preparation of the assembly. Thank you to those who have forwarded emails with their views on the efficacy of the commentaries. Your thoughts will be provided to PPC members to inform their discussions. The Council will also consider upcoming dates for the formation of Readers of the Word and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion.
The PPC expresses its deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolence to Seminarian Chris de Freitas and his family on the passing of their beloved father. Grant eternal rest unto him O Lord and may perpetual light shine upon him.
We thank you for your continued support and prayers as we work together to strengthen the life and mission of our parish community.

Pope Leo at Castel Gandolfo
Currently, Pope Leo is at Castel Gandolfo, where he is taking a summer break. He reflected on the Parable of the Sower, the gospel of last week, reminding Christians that God's Word has the power to transform every heart and encouraging the faithful to make space for silence, prayer, and meditation on Scripture.
He noted that the winds of war were blowing once again in the Middle East, in Ukraine and in many other parts of the world, sowing violence, terror and death, and once again affecting many innocent people. He exhorts leaders not to extinguish the flame of hope and peace, even when it seems fragile and flickering. He hopes they will persevere on the path of dialogue, encounter and diplomacy. This is the only path able to lead to a just and lasting peace, in which peoples can live in reconciliation, mutual security and respect for the dignity of every person.
The pope hoped that on “Sea Sunday” people’s thoughts would be with all sailors, fishermen and port workers. They cope with separation from their loved ones, and sometimes with fear of the conflicts that are occurring on the seas.
Pope Leo emphasised that God’s generosity towards us is not naïve but wise. He sees within us the potential for good that, at times, we ourselves might fail to recognize. The
Lord, who knows the soil of our hearts better than we do, never ceases to believe in us, if we entrust ourselves to him in faith.
