Christmas Masses at the Nazareth Centre and St Mary's Whittlesea
Archbishop Peter Comensoli has written this beautiful letter to God's pilgrim people, welcoming everyone back "home" to our parishes where we are able to hear God's Word, pray and worship together physically again after the pandemic.
Join us at the Parish Multicultural Evening on Saturday, 19 November at the Anawim Centre Whittlesea, from 6pm onwards. Bookings are now open!
Every event in our Parish is cause for us to lift our hands in thanksgiving to God our Father who reveals his love for all his people.
Congratulations to everyone for a combined effort and hard work put into raising $1,575 for the new church building fund!
As disciples of Jesus, that our parish of Doreen, Kinglake, Mernda and Whittlesea be a welcoming, vibrant, faith-filled and worshipping catholic community. In a spirit of joy and compassion we will reach out to all in the service of the Good News of God’s love and in our stewardship of our created world.

They represent the richness and diversity of the members of our parish community - 'For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.'(Mt 18:20)

Christ instituted the sacraments of the new law. There are seven: Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Communion,Reconciliation, the Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony. The seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life:1 they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian’s life of faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life.
