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.
