Para Hills Modbury Catholic Parish

to Para Hills Modbury Catholic Parish and to our parish website. This site will hopefully provide you with the information you require as well as a broad overview of the many different activities that occur in our parish. This parish consists of the communities of Holy Trinity at Para Hills and John XXIII at Hope Valley and Modbury that together form Para Hills Modbury Catholic Parish. In both of these communities you will find a warm welcome and a practical living of the Gospel in a variety of ministries and outreach to the wider community.

The celebration of the Eucharist is the life that enables all ministry to occur, gives each community identity and brings all into communion. As you share in the celebration of the Eucharist in the parish may you be drawn deeper into the mystery of Christ among us and be more keenly aware of God’s great love for you.

If you are a new resident to the area or enjoying a holiday in this beautiful part of Australia please feel most welcome among us. If you wish to join in anyone of the activities that happen in our parish or if you wish to be a volunteer to help us please feel free to contact us at the parish office.We will be very happy to welcome you here.

God bless,

I Make my Church

My Church is composed of people like me. I help make it what it is. It will be friendly, if I am. Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them. It will do great work, if I work. It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver. It will bring other people into its worship and fellowship, if I invite and bring them. It will be a church of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, and a church with noble spirit, if I, who make it what it is, am filled with these same things. Therefore, with the help of God, I shall dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that I want my church to be. Amen

Happy Easter

He is Risen; Alleluia!

As we join Christians all over the world in the celebration of Easter may I wish you all a HAPPY EASTER. May the fullness of life, peace and joy of the risen Lord be with you always.
Death and life fought bitterly
For this wondrous victory:
The Lord of life who died reigns glorified!
Share the Good News, sing joyfully:
His death is victory! Lord Jesus, Victor King, show us mercy.
Over these past three days we have devoutly recalled how Jesus was willing to bear the humility of being a man, how He died upon a cross, how He descended into to the dead, unlocked the gates of heaven, and conquered the darkness of evil and sin. >>Read More
