Our Parish is located on the traditional country of the Tugagal Clan of the Darug Nation. We acknowledge their cultural heritage, beliefs and continuing relationship with the land and waters. We pay our respects to the Elders past and present and commit ourselves to work together for reconciliation and justice

On Friday 7th October, we had our combined-parish Way of Mercy Celebration at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Seven Hills, along with parishioners from Seven Hills and St Bernadette's in Lalor Park. With a turn-out of around 300 people, we had reflections on St Teresa of Calcutta, St Mary MacKillop, Catherine McAuley, a Mercy Mass, a BBQ dinner, mercy speakers from each parish (including our own John Basco!), adoration, the rosary, chaplet of divine mercy, veneration of relics, and benediction. There were even 150 people staying until the end at 10 pm! Thank you to everyone who took time out of their busy day to open themselves to an encounter with our Father's mercy, and with joy amongst each other. Special thanks to all who helped out on the day, especially John and Robert Basco, Bill Ryan, Susai Benjamin, Kesaia Taufa, the John family, and Patrick Mackey.
