Latest Updates
NAIDOC Week 2021
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sunday 4 July 2021 - Celebrating the gifts of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholics.
Every year, Catholics come together across Australia to acknowledge and celebrate the gifts of Australia's First Peoples in the Catholic Church. This year is particularly important following the COVID 19 Pandemic and its impact on the ways in which we interacted and made contact with one another.
NATSICC has decided to adopt the NAIDOC theme for 2021 - Heal Country. Today our world is in need of healing - environmentally, spiritually and socially. We must all come together as a global community to fight the injustices of inequality, racism and environmental damage.
Refugee Week 2021
Refugee week is an opportunity to come together and rebuild. Unity in and between our communities has powerful potential.

For further information about the movie afternoon please contact the Parish Office on 02 4981 1069 (Wednesday to Friday 9am - 3pm).
