Since 1912 St Joseph's has gathered families, students and neighbours to celebrate Mass, receive the sacraments and care for those in need. All are welcome — whether you have been coming for decades or are visiting for the first time.
“Come to me, all who are weary, and I will give you rest.”
— Matthew 11:28St Joseph's exists to nurture Catholic faith through the celebration of Mass and the seven sacraments, and to serve our neighbours — especially those on the margins — with practical love and hospitality.
Daily and weekend Mass, adoration, and a full sacramental life — from Baptism to Anointing of the Sick — in the Roman Catholic tradition.
Playgroups, youth ministry, senior morning teas, migrant welcome and a warm cup of tea after every Sunday Mass. You belong here.
Through St Vincent de Paul Conference, food relief, refugee sponsorship and school partnerships, we accompany families doing it tough.
For over 110 years, St Joseph's has stood on the corner of Hope and Melville Streets, its bluestone walls witnessing baptisms, weddings, funerals and the ordinary Sundays that shape a lifetime of faith.
All are welcome. If it is your first time, please introduce yourself to Fr. Anthony or a parishioner after Mass — we would love to say hello.
In our annual report to the ACNC we list the beneficiaries our ministries reach. It is a long list — because the Gospel excludes no-one.
Every candle lit, every food parcel packed, every wedding celebrated is made possible by parishioners and friends who give what they can. Thank you.
