INVITATION TO PRIVATE PRAYER - The Sanctuary or temporary church area in the large hall will be open on Wednesdays for private prayer. Please enter by way of the lower door and follow the appropriate signs.

It is very important that we maintain a limit of 10 people in Adoration at a time if we wish to continue visiting Jesus on Wednesdays. If you do not have a scheduled time please be aware of those who may be waiting and perhaps self impose a time limit to allow others the opportunity to also visit with Him. This time with Jesus is precious and He knows we need Him now more than ever.

Please maintain the Covid protocols.

Let Jesus know you love Him.

The ongoing need for healing and reconciliation of those who have experienced sexual abuse is essential for the health of the Body of Christ. The Diocese of Victoria is committed to further responsibility, accountability and transparency in matters of sexual abuse in order to facilitate healing and justice for victim-survivors.

As such, two Independent Reporting Agencies have been contracted to receive reports of current or historical sexual abuse by a member of the Diocese (clergy, religious, employees, or volunteers) via secure and confidential platforms, which will further assist in contacting the appropriate authorities and access counselling services.

For more information on how to report Sexual Abuse, please click HERE or on the red button above.
