The Forest

The Forest We meet at Ryde-Gladesville Catholic Parish on the first Sunday of every month, after the 10am mass.

In a world where one's lifestyle or career aren't always aligned with the Word of God, The Forest provides a community where young professionals can find an anchor for their faith. Our hope is that members will become “like a tree planted near streams; it bears fruit in season and its leaves never wither, and every project succeeds” (Psalm 1:3). Our sessions focus on how we can live out our Catholic values as professionals in today's world.

We want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the time we've spent together at The Forest. We know many of you are curious about our upcoming events, and we want to share that, moving forward, The Forest will not be hosting any more gatherings.

We encourage you to explore the wonderful array of groups available at the Ryde Gladesville Parish. If you're interested in learning more about these options, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Parish Office for assistance.

We also invite you to organise your own social gatherings — feel free to invite all your friends you've met at The Forest!

Thank you all for your incredible support throughout the years. We hope to see you at future Catholic events and wish you all the best!

This month, we dive into a compelling exploration of how faith and psychology intersect. Our guest speaker, Fr Daniele Sollazzo FMVD will explore the meaningful ways faith and psychology can be integrated, while also addressing key psychological ideas that may conflict with core spiritual beliefs.
He will reflect on whether we can truly resolve our inner struggles without faith, and whether religion alone is enough to address psychological challenges.
