St Agatha's Parish Cranbourne

St Agatha's Parish Cranbourne St Agatha's Parish is a gospel & eucharistic centred, spirit-filled and prayerful Catholic Community At the heart of St.

St Agatha’s Catholic community is a place where you can truly belong; where you can truly be at home. Whether you are on the fringes of Catholicism, whether you are just starting out on the journey of Catholic life, or whether you’ve been Catholic all your life: we value you as a person. Our parish offers many opportunities for you to grow and develop your potential, to discover your giftedness an

d God-given talents and encourages you to reach out to others to do the same. Whilst we realize the importance of the development and nurture of the individual, we also place equal importance on community: of standing together as a family through all of the joys, struggles and challenges that each day brings. As a well-known proverb states ‘shared joy is double joy, shared sorrow is half a sorrow’; we support each other throughout our lives and stages of faith. Agatha’s Parish is Jesus Christ living and active among us. Above all it is in celebration of the Holy Mass and in the other Sacraments that we encounter the Lord Jesus. This loving encounter in spirit and truth spills over into an active love and service of one another and all whom we meet. This reaches a high point in our participation in the “New Evangelisation” that “the kingdom may come.” Prayer and especially Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is the other fountainhead from which all the spiritual energy of our Parish flows and bears the fruits of the Holy Spirit among us.

Today, we celebrate the birthday of the Mother of the Church. The Church looks on her as the Mother of God, but even more so as the disciple who can best offer us an example and model of the Christian life.
Let us celebrate with joy the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, for from her arose the sun of justice, Christ our God.

Message from Bishop Greg Bennet for Social Justice Sunday

Dear Friends in Christ,

On 30 August 2026, the Catholic Church observes Social Justice Sunday. In a tradition dating back to 1940, this day is marked by prayer, reflection, and action in response to the social issues affecting communities across Australia.

This year, we are invited to reflect on how we can become agents of reconciliation, understanding, and peace amid the divisions of our contemporary world. Our reflection is guided by the 2026 Social Justice Statement, Living the Gospel in Times of Social Division, released by the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference.

We are all aware of the tensions that exist between peoples throughout the world and within our own nation. As Christians, we are called to witness to a different way of living: a way of peace, compassion, and hope. Our model is Jesus Christ, whose presence continues to encourage and strengthen the hearts of the faithful.

The Gospel this weekend reminds us that the Christian life is informed by the Cross. There are times when our collective cross is heavy to bear. Together, however, we can shoulder the cross of social division, confident that through prayer, respectful dialogue, and a genuine commitment to understanding one another, a new way of being can emerge for our society.

The statement Living the Gospel in Times of Social Division is both timely and challenging. I warmly commend it to you and encourage you to take the opportunity to read, reflect upon, and discuss its message within your families, communities, and parishes.

Bishop Greg Bennet
