Our Parish Renewal Program has Finished
Thank you, on behalf of us all at Mary Help of Christians, for your involvement and response.
Please collect your acknowledgement letters – which include new giving envelopes for cash pledges – this weekend. They are available in the Narthex in alphabetical surname order. Please note that envelopes are no longer issued to parishioners who pledge via EFT.
The new pledge commitments take effect from Sunday, 28th of August. A summary of the results will be made available soon.
If you are new to our Parish, we are delighted to welcome you. We hope that here you will find a sense of community and belonging.
We recognise that being a newcomer can be a little daunting, so we want to make sure that your transition to our Parish is a smooth one. This website gives you introductory information on our parish, its activities and key contact. Please make yourself known.
This is a difficult and complex time for each and every one of us. However as people of faith we need to keep our eyes always focused on Jesus who guides us through all the events of our daily living. Please remember to pray for one another and please remember to care for one another. May you be able to find joy and peace in the Risen Lord Jesus.
Stay well; stay safe and God Bless,
Archpriest Michael Kalka
“For behold, some are last who will be first and some are first who will be last.” (Luke 13:30)
Our cultural standards are different from God’s standards. We often rank people by what they have, how powerful they are, or how successful they are. Jesus reminds us that God will not judge us by the same earthly standards. When God asks you, “What have you done with the gifts I have given you?” How will you respond?
Thank you to all our parishioners who
contribute to thanksgiving...
Your offering is very much
appreciated.
We thank you so very much!

MY JESUS, I believe that you are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You Sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
