The table is set. Come as you are.
Mass is the heart of everything we do. Whether you come every Sunday or haven't been in years — whether you're Catholic, curious, or simply in need of a quiet hour — you are welcome at every single one of these.

From the font to the final anointing, the sacraments mark the whole journey of a life. To arrange any of them, simply email us — we will walk with you through what is needed.
Baptism
Welcoming children and adults into the faith. Preparation evenings are held for parents and godparents.
First Communion & Confirmation
Sacramental preparation for children, in partnership with families and St Joseph's Primary School.
Eucharist & Reconciliation
Mass six times a week, and the sacrament of mercy by appointment — no appointment ever refused.
Marriage
Celebrated in our beautiful bluestone church. Please contact us at least six months before your hoped-for date.
Anointing of the Sick
At home, in hospital or in aged care — for anyone seriously unwell or frail. Just ask; we come gladly.
Funerals
We walk with families through loss with reverence and care, from the first phone call to the graveside.
What to expect.
- Come a few minutes early and sit anywhere — there are no reserved seats
- Dress as you're comfortable; you'll see everything from work boots to Sunday best
- Children are warmly welcome — sounds and all
- Stay after for a cuppa if you can; that's where strangers become parishioners
