St John the Evangelist

Dear parishioners,

May the peace of Christ reign in your hearts!

It is sad that we are not allowed to do any more pastoral visitations or communion services until further update but we will continue to keep in touch with our parishioners via telephone. 

Please join our fellow parishioners in celebrating our parish Sunday Mass here below.

We are grateful to our team of volunteers who make our online mass possible. Thank you, our beautiful choir, camera crew and readers and helpers. 

Thinking of you and your families in my prayers.

Take care and stay safe. 

God bless,

Dispin 

The COVID-19 pandemic has seriously affected our parish finances. We understand some parishioners are suffering financially too. But many have asked how they can give, now that there is no possibility of using the envelope system or making a contribution to the first collection which pays for our priest, Fr Dispin, and sick and retired priests. You can go online and make a donation to both collections through your own bank account. Please make sure you include your envelope number & surname in the transaction reference field when contributing to the second collection.
Details are:
First Collection -        Account Name: St Johns Presbytery Account
                                  BSB  083343 ACCTNUM 515 469 035
Second Collection -   Account Name:  St Johns Church Account
                                  BSB  083347 ACCTNUM 676 841 942
                                  Reference field : Envelope number and Surname
                                  (contact the Parish office if you don't know your env no.)

You can also mail a cheque, mentioning the split between the 1st and 2nd collections. Please mention your name and envelope number.
If you have any questions about this, please ring the parish office 9401 6366.

We come before you Lord as the Parish Family of St John the Evangelist. Thanks you for calling us to this community. Through Your Holy Spirit lead us as we turn to You for guidance, courage and faith. Keep us faithful to all that is true and help us to willingly follow You, so that we may become a more loving, forgiving and affirming community. Continue to nourish and inspire us by Your love so that we may bring peace, hope and justice to our families and to our world. Together may we journey with You and with one another.

St John pray for us. St James Pray for us.

Fr Dispin will be recording Sunday Masses. They will normally be available by 6:00pm each Saturday. The text of his homilies will also be available on each Sunday.
