Whether you’re a regular worshipper, new to the area, or you’ve been away for a while, we look forward to welcoming you. We have worshipped in the area since 1836, when we were part of the large Parramatta Parish established by Archbishop Polding. In 1946 we became part of the new Parish of Wentworthville and in 1958, among chicken farms and market gardens, we built the primary school and our firs
t Mass centre. We became a separate parish in 1972 with Fr Duggan as the first Parish Priest. He was succeeded a year later by Fr Darmenia who, with a dedicated group of parishioners built and opened our Church in 1975. Fr Galway together with his assistant, Fr Sciberras, continued the work of developing the Parish. Our Parish Church was built when Fr Roland Darmenia was Parish Priest. It was blessed and opened by His Eminence, Sir James Darcy Cardinal Freeman on 20th April, 1975. After extensive renovations it was solemnly dedicated by Bishop Bede Heather on 7th July, 1996. For ten years until 1994 the Brothers and Sisters of St Gerard Majella built on these foundations, enriching our liturgical life and establishing many new areas of ministry and outreach. Between 1994 and 2011 our Parish Priest, Fr Gerry Iverson, in collaboration with our Parish Team and sucessive Pastoral Councils, encouraged and welcomed the sharing of various gifts by parishioners which promoted and enhanced our many Parish ministries. In 2011, Fr Robert Bossini, was appointed Parish Priest of our rich and vibrant Parish. This year we celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Catholic Secondary Education at Greystanes and 40 Years as a Parish Community. To those who have gone before we say "Thank you" for giving us such a magnificent start.
