Yesterday, members of our parish community gathered together to reflect on where we are as a parish and where God may be leading us next. 🤍

It was a valuable and encouraging evening filled with conversation, ideas, questions, and hopes for the future.

One of the beautiful things about being part of a parish is knowing that every voice matters. Sharing our experiences, thoughts, suggestions, and even our concerns helps us grow together as a stronger and more welcoming community.

Church is not simply a place we attend once a week.

It is a community we help build.

A place where each of us can contribute our gifts, take responsibility for the life of the parish, and play a part in sharing faith, hope, and the love of Christ with others.

Thank you to everyone who attended, shared their thoughts, and helped shape the conversation. Every suggestion, every idea, and every honest contribution is part of building the parish we are becoming together.

And if you are already part of our community — or perhaps thinking about becoming part of it — we would love to hear from you too.

Come.
Talk.
Share your ideas.
Stay.

Because the Church grows stronger when we journey together.

We would love to hear from you. 🤍

Do you already come to Sunday Mass or any of the activities organised by our parish community?

What do you enjoy most?
What helps you feel welcomed?
Is there something you would love to see more of?
Or maybe there is something you have always wanted to ask but never had the chance to?

And if you have not joined us yet — what would help you feel more comfortable coming for the first time?

Your voice matters to us, because we want to continue building a parish where people truly feel at home, supported, and connected.

Hey 👋
Why haven’t we met you yet at Journey in Faith on Tuesdays?

Week by week, more people are joining us — people of different ages, stories, and experiences — but we’re still saving a place for you too.

Maybe you have questions.
Maybe you’re searching for peace, direction, hope, or simply a place where you can explore faith honestly and without pressure.

Journey in Faith is a space to grow, ask, listen, reflect, and discover that you don’t have to walk through life alone.
You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You don’t need to “know enough.”
You just need the courage to take one small step and come.

Sometimes the beginning of something beautiful starts with simply saying yes to an invitation 💛

This Saturday, we warmly invite you and your family to join us for our children’s activities and the 6:30 pm Mass. 🤍

Come and spend time together.
Meet new people.
Build community.
Let’s create a place where children, families, and every generation can grow in faith together.

Whether you come every week or are thinking about joining us for the first time — you are welcome here.

Let’s pray together.
Let’s get to know one another.
Let’s simply be together.

Because Church is more than a building — it’s a family walking together toward Jesus.

We can’t wait to welcome you. ✨

What a joy it was to gather together as a parish family yesterday.

We were blessed to welcome the sisters, who joined us for a beautiful time of encounter, faith, and joy. Through their presence, openness, and the way they shared their love for Jesus, they created a space where both children and adults could experience God in a real and personal way.

There was laughter, prayer, conversation, and meaningful moments of being together. The sisters reminded us that faith is not just something we learn about, but something we live, share, and grow in every day.

Thank you to the sisters for being with us — your presence truly blessed our community.

Children need more than information — they need space, encouragement, and people who will gently help them discover who God is.

As parents, one of our most beautiful responsibilities is to guide our children on the journey of faith: to help them ask questions, listen, pray, and encounter Jesus in a way that becomes real for them.

Faith grows when children are invited, not pressured; when they are welcomed, not overlooked; when they are given courage to take their own next step with God.

As a parish community, we want to walk alongside families — creating spaces where children can grow in faith, feel at home in the Church, and discover that they belong in God’s family.

Let us keep encouraging our children, making room for them, and helping them know the love of Jesus.

Yesterday was full of little moments of love — and a lot of joyful energy. 💛✨

Our children’s activities are all about creating a warm, friendly space where kids can learn about God in a way that feels real and alive. Because faith isn’t only quiet prayers in silence — it can also be movement, creativity, laughter, and worship together.

Thank you to every child, parent, and volunteer who helped make it so special.
You’re always welcome here — and we can’t wait for the next one. 🤍

First Saturday Vigil Mass
Saturday, 7 February 2026, 6:30 pm
As part of our parish journey toward the 800th Anniversary of the Death of Saint Francis of Assisi and the Jubilee Year of Saint Francis, we warmly invite you to our monthly Vigil Mass.
The celebration will begin with Holy Mass at 6:30 pm. During the Mass, the homily will focus on the theme:
“Holy Poverty and Dependence on God.”
Drawing from the Rule and witness of Saint Francis of Assisi, the homily will invite us to rediscover evangelical poverty as a path of freedom, trust, and deeper reliance on God in our daily Christian life.
During the Mass, there will also be special liturgical commentaries prepared for children, helping them to better understand and actively participate in the celebration.
Following Holy Mass, we will hold a devotional service of entrustment, during which we wish to place our personal, family, and professional lives into God’s providential care, following the example of Saint Francis of Assisi. This time of prayer will help us renew our trust in God and surrender our lives more fully into His hands.
This Vigil Mass forms part of our ongoing Franciscan journey during the Jubilee Year of Saint Francis
(10 January 2026 – 10 January 2027) — a year that calls us not to extraordinary gestures, but to sincere conversion, simplicity of life, and faithful imitation of Christ.
All parishioners and friends are warmly invited to take part in this evening of prayer, worship, and renewal of faith.
