Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and a very warm welcome to St Cornelius Catholic Church!
This is a parish community of some 2,000 families with a rich and prayerful faith life and growing outreach in service. We hope you will find among us the companionship, encouragement, resources and inspiration that we all need to faithfully follow Jesus Christ. We welcome your participation in any of our services and activities.
Our mission, in the words of Pope Francis, is to be a “place where mercy is freely given, where everyone feels welcomed, loved and forgiven and called to use their gifts in service to others.”
Father George and I are available after weekend liturgies at the Church doors and we would love to meet you and get to know you. Please come by and say hello! Together with the entire parish team, we can be reached through the parish office.
May God bless you and yours,
Father Jay Cunnane, Pastor
