I'm not a Catholic - am I welcome?
Absolutely. We believe the invitation of Jesus is for everyone! We would love to welcome you and answer any questions you may have.
I haven't been to Church in a long time - am I welcome?
Yes! We often have people visit who are not Christians or who have not practised their faith for a long time. Our belief is that the messages conveyed at our parishes provide value for all people. You might not be familiar initially with what is happening in our Mass but we try to make everyone feel comfortable and at home!
What happens during Mass?
All our Masses (services) incorporate prayer, readings from the Bible, a homily (message), receiving Jesus in the Eucharist, and great music. Our weekend Masses are usually about 60 mins in length. For more information about the Mass, you can press this link.
Do I have to participate?
We want you to feel welcome to come along and join us at Mass without feeling concerned about being asked to do anything. You can leave whenever you like and while you can remain anonymous, we encourage you to introduce yourself to Fr Francis, the welcome team or parishioners - we look forward to meeting and connecting with you.
Will I be asked to give money?
During Mass we provide the opportunity for regular parishioners to help support our priests and parish financially. Online giving is also available. You are not required to give anything.
What if I have more questions?
We would love to hear from you. Please get in touch with us at the parish offfice.
