Welcome to St Luke’s Parish
Dear parishioners & visitors,
It is my pleasure to welcome you!
If you are new to the area, we would love to invite you to be part of our community. No doubt you’ve heard the phrase, “it’s not a house, it’s a home,” and the same applies to a catholic parish.
A parish is not just a church building; rather, it is the people who make up that community. In the words of pope francis, a parish is: “the church living in the midst of the homes of her sons and daughters … in contact with the homes and the lives of its people … not a useless structure, but an environment for hearing god’s word, for growth in the christian life, for dialogue, proclamation, charitable outreach, worship and celebration.” (Evangelli Gaudium, 28)
So, if you are looking for a catholic church to come home to and a community to nurture your catholic faith, our parish welcomes you! Or if you are not catholic and have questions or want to learn about the faith, we welcome you.
St Luke’s family is a caring and welcoming where you can experience God’s love through Jesus Christ.
In all cases, be assured that we are here for you! So pay a visit and take part in a weekend mass.
Fr. Dariusz Basiaga SDS JP PP

Alternatively, you can contact the archdiocese safeguarding office via EMAIL or call (02) 9390 5810. You may also want to speak to your parish priest who will be able to provide support and guidance.
