We have decided to defer the Parish Renewal Program until July 2022.
Unfortunately, our Mass to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the first Mass celebrated here in Altona by Very Rev John Barry (Administrator of St Patrick's Cathedral) was cancelled. However, please note it will be replaced with a Mass to mark the 101st anniversary on Saturday, 13th of August, 2022. We will endeavour to get Archbishop Peter Comensoli to be the celebrant of our 6 p.m. Mass on that day.
If you are new to our Parish, we are delighted to welcome you. We hope that here you will find a sense of community and belonging.
We recognise that being a newcomer can be a little daunting, so we want to make sure that your transition to our Parish is a smooth one. This website gives you introductory information on our parish, its activities and key contact. Please make yourself known.
This is a difficult and complex time for each and every one of us. However as people of faith we need to keep our eyes always focused on Jesus who guides us through all the events of our daily living. Please remember to pray for one another and please remember to care for one another. May you be able to find joy and peace in the Risen Lord Jesus.
Stay well; stay safe and God Bless,
Archpriest Michael Kalka

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” (Revelations 22:13)
This is a reminder of how we should live our lives 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – putting God first in all that we do. Not only when I am at Mass and parish activities, but when I am in the world, at work or at school. Living gratefully and generously is an intentional lifestyle. Every decision you make either moves you closer to God or farther away. Choose wisely!

MY JESUS, I believe that you are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You Sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
