Dear Parishioners, this Father’s Day, our parish is proud to support the Bishop’s Father’s Day Appeal, caring for our retired and unwell priests – the spiritual fathers who have faithfully served our communities across Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains.

Please give generously using the Appeal envelopes provided at all Masses this weekend or online https://parracatholic.org/donate/clergy-support-foundation/

Let us also keep our priests in our prayers, with gratitude for their many years of faithful service. Thank you for caring for those who have spent their lives caring for us.
