Advent allows our parish to prepare spiritually for Christ’s coming. It’s a season of hope and reflection, offering opportunities for prayerful anticipation, community activities, and deepening the parish’s sense of unity and purpose.

We warmly invite you to join us in worship during this sacred time. Whether through prayer, reflection, or participation in the sacraments, this season offers a special opportunity to deepen your faith and connect with our parish community. Come together with us as we celebrate and grow in God’s love, drawing strength and inspiration from our shared journey.
Christmas is a moment to appreciate the people who quietly shape our lives – and for our parish, that’s surely Fr Mark and Fr Pedro. Week after week they guide us, pray for us, support our families, and faithfully lead our community with gentleness, wisdom, and a great deal of love. The Christmas Collection is one of the few opportunities we have to give something back. Your offering – whatever you’re able to give – helps sustain their ministry and says a simple but heartfelt “thank you” for all they pour into our parish. If you’re not able to contribute financially, your prayers are just as meaningful. Every gift and every prayer reminds them that their ministry truly matters. This Christmas, let’s show Fr Mark and Fr Pedro how much they are appreciated. Thank you for your generosity, your kindness and your support.
