Kyabram Catholic Parish Welcome to the Kyabram Catholic Parish Community
Parish Priest – Fr Uday Marneni St Patrick’s at Tongala is Prep to Year 6 school with 50 students.

The Parish of St Augustine’s in Kyabram was in the care of the Augustinians for over 100 years. Visits by priests began around 1875 and the first church, St Monica’s, was built at present-day Ky West in 1878. From 1886, Augustinians from Echuca ministered in the area until the parish, which includes St Patrick’s, Tongala, was established in 1903. Today, the Parish has two schools, St Augustine’s College (F-12) in Kyabram and St Patrick’s Primary in Tongala, both conducted for many years by the Brigidine Sisters. Our College introduced Year 11 & 12 in 2010 and we are at capacity with nearly 700 students. St Augustine’s church underwent major renovations and extensions in 2000. The new liturgical area enhances our liturgy and parishioner involvement. The Augustinian Fathers have had the responsibility of three parishes in the Sandhurst Diocese – Rochester, Echuca and Kyabram. Over a period of time, they have withdrawn their ministry till early 2006 when they withdrew from Kyabram. This was the last of the three parishes to return to the control of the diocese. The Augustinians were the last Religious Order to return parishes to the diocese. Fr Michael Morley who was Parish Priest of Tatura was asked to be also the Parish Priest of Kyabram. In January 2017, Fr Cornelio (Jinjo) Solis commenced Parish Priest of Kyabram Parish. We are basically a farming community relying on the farming sector to stimulate the financial growth of the town. The community have faced the hard times in the past with 10-year droughts etc but they have amazing resilience to keep ongoing. We welcome visitors to our town and especially to our parish. We would also enjoy your company at our weekend Masses or special liturgies during the year, such as Anzac Day, Mothers Day and others.

The Catholic faith doesn't become false just because the whole world turns against it... ⤵️

📅 October 22: Feast day of St. John Paul II

Today, it's easy to stay quiet about what the Church teaches because we're afraid of offending someone, losing friends, or being judged.

But Jesus never told us to change the truth just to make people happy.

“We must defend the truth at all costs, even if we are reduced to just twelve again.”
— Pope St. John Paul II

Think about that. Jesus began His Church with a small group of Apostles, not millions of followers.

Truth isn't decided by how many people agree with it. And defending it doesn't mean being cruel. It means standing firm with courage, love, and humility.

Jesus said, “The truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)

💬 Would you still defend the teachings of the Catholic Church if everyone around you disagreed?

Someone afraid to stand up for their faith may need this reminder.
