Welcome

Welcome to your parish of Mother of Mercy.  We are endeavouring to be a welcoming, Christ-centred community.  Our focus is to provide opportunities to all to encounter, and be transformed by, Jesus and continually share this with others.  We want to create a culture of authentic engagement and service where all belong and are connected.  We look forward to meeting you soon.

SYNOD 2021-2023 - CONSULTATION PHASE NOW OPEN
In October 2023, the Catholic Church will gather to reflect on the theme “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation and Mission”.  Pope Francis is inviting everyone to share their experiences of synodality (walking together) : a decisive theme for the life and mission of the Church.   Your voice matters! You are invited to be a part of this journey by reflecting on the Synod Themes and sharing your story.
