Car Park Resealing Appeal
After more than 30 years of service, our parish car park has reached the end of its life and requires a complete replacement to ensure the safety of our parishioners and St Mary’s School children. The estimated total cost of this project is $93,763.69 (including GST), of which St Mary’s School will cover 20%.
This Advent, we invite you to consider a special "Christmas Gift" to the parish to help us raise the remaining $75,000. Just as the Holy Family sought a safe place to rest, your contribution will remove "stumbling blocks" for all who come to our church, ensuring our grounds remain welcoming for the next generation. Donations are eligible for a 33% tax credit.
