Welcome
to the Catholic Parish of Applecross. We are a vibrant faith community that
is going through an exciting period of re-generation. Many new and young
families are moving into the area, as large house blocks are being divided
into smaller home units. Our St Benedict’s Parish School has recently
completed the building of five new classrooms; and we celebrated the
Dedication of our new St Benedict's Church on 24 February 2008.
Whilst focusing on all these developments, the celebration and worship of the
Eucharist is always at the centre of our life as a parish community, with
our liturgies enhanced by a wonderful music tradition. In response to our
Archbishop’s request in 2003, the Parish Pastoral Council has developed an
extensive Evangelization Program and has implemented many pastoral
initiatives, especially aimed at reaching out to all age groups that make up
our community. At the same time we do look beyond our own boundaries, and
knowing that we are materially blessed by God in so many ways, our
parishioners have also been exceptionally generous in providing material
assistance to the wider mission of the Church, both in Australia and
overseas.
We hope you find our website helpful. We are open to any comments
you would like to offer that will help us more fully live out the mission of
Christ in this part of the world.
