We welcome our parish community to gather in prayer and worship.
We are a vibrant Catholic parish in the Northern Illawarra area. Our experience of worship, especially our Sunday Eucharist, is the high point of life in our community where we celebrate and praise God for his presence in our lives. We hope that you will make our parish your home, a place where you can find purpose and belonging and grow in your relationship with Jesus and one another.

Joining electronic parish giving
There are many ways that you can help enable the liturgical, sacramental, pastoral and charitable works of your parish. One way is to contribute to parish giving via the two collections at Sunday Mass. As we move more and more into a cashless society, many parishioners prefer to contribute to parish giving electronically instead of the traditional forms of putting cash and planned giving envelopes into the collection baskets during Mass.
We’ve created a number of ways below for you to easily give electronically on a regular basis or as a one-off gift. Click on the link below.
