Welcome

to Our Website

Welcome 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 St 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.

Parish Prayer
Loving Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
We pray you look upon our community of faith
and remind us of your constant presence.
Help us witness to your love and let it guide us
in all our experiences as a parish.
May we keep our hearts open to your inspiration
as we serve as your disciples,
loving one another without exception.
We make this prayer through
the intercession of St John XXIII
Amen

We would like to inform you that all the masses are celebrated at the normal times as shown in the website and parish bulletin. There are restrictions on number of people who can attend. Only 120 people can be there at 10 am mass at Holy Trinity and 200 people can be there at St John XXIII. Even i you haven't booked for masses at St John XXIII you are free to come over. At Holy Trinity it will be the first 120 people who will have a place within the body of the Church. Then we have possibility of being seated in the hall where a live streaming will be available with live music. Holy Communion will be distributed in the hall as well. Those who are with prior booking will be given priority for being seated within the body of the church at Holy Trinity. Weekdays you are free to come over for the mass even if you have not made a prior booking. However preference will be given to those who do the prior booking. If you wish to receive the Parish Bulletin through email please contact us either on office@paramodcath.com.au or on bulletin@paramodcath.com.au For future information please watch this space

The Find a Mass App of the Adelaide Archdiocese has been upgraded to allow us to contribute to both the first and second collections of our parish via a credit or debit card. Users of the App can make a one-off donation or set up recurring donations to our parish and for the support of the clergy. You are also able to use it to make contributions to the special collections which are held throughout the year. Be aware that your details will be securely saved for recurring donations. Search ’Archdiocese of Adelaide’ in your app store and download the app to make easy and seamless donations to our parish. Follow the link to view a PowerPoint presentation about the app or to view a YouTube video demonstrating use of the app.

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,
Fr. Manu Kumbidiyamackal msfs
Parish Priest

We would like to bring to your attention that there are some internet scammers making attempts to collect money or gift cards pretending to be the parish priest. They create email address in the name of the parish priest. If you have a close look at the email address you will find that the email address is not genuine even though they use the name. Please be aware that no priests or parishes will ask you to make donations or request you for help to purchase any gift cards through emails. Every collection made in the parish is announced in our Parish Bulletin. So if you receive any such emails requesting money or gift cards please ignore them and not reply to them.

We are all going through some difficult times. The parish requires your continuous support so that we are able to go on as the bills keep coming in. If you can help in any way it is very much appreciated. Kindly use this link to make your contributions to the parish and to the presbytery fund. Once you click the link you have the option to choose the parish. Scroll down and choose Para Hills /Modbury and click submit. Once you have done that make sure that you have filled in all the required fields. You can choose general at the payment type if you are making a donation for the second collection. Please fill in your planned giving number so that we will know from whom the debit comes. Choose first collection from the payment type for presbytery collection. >>Click Here

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
