Support our St Vincent De Paul Conference
As our access to low-cost nonperishable food from Food Bank Victoria was lost due to insatiable demand. Demand from families in need within our community is also high and supporting them with pantry food made a difference.
Our pantry is empty.
To provide an opportunity for parishioners to contribute nonperishable food items for our pantry, a basket is located at the rear of the Church or the QR code can be used for online donations.

Parish Men's Fellowship - Inaugural Gathering
The Parish Men’s Fellowship held its inaugural gathering on Tuesday evening, June 2, 2026 at the Presbytery, welcoming 15 men from our parish community. The gathering was intentionally informal and centered on fellowship, conversation and listening.
Over a shared meal, participants introduced themselves, shared their life journeys and reflected on their aspirations and hopes as Catholic men seeking to grow in faith and support one another. Guided by the theme “Men Walking Together in Faith,” the discussion explored the purpose and future direction of a Parish Men’s Group. Participants expressed a desire for deeper brotherhood, spiritual growth, mutual encouragement and opportunities to strengthen family life and serve the wider parish community.
The evening concluded with gratitude for the openness and positive spirit of all who attended. The strong participation and meaningful discussions provided an encouraging foundation for future gatherings as the group continues to discern how best to foster faith, friendship, and service among the men of the parish. We thank all who participated and look forward to continuing this journey together. "How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.” – Psalm 133:1
Interested in joining? All men of the parish are warmly invited to attend future gatherings. Details of the next meeting will be announced soon.
