As we celebrated Holy Family Parish Feast Day, we were asked: What are our dreams for our Parish?

The Parish's fourth ALPHA program is off to a flying start.

A beautiful day of commitment, celebration and joy.

Our usual Bus Service to our eldery parishioners for the CTK 9:30am Mass will now be redirected to serve its clients for the 3:00PM Vietnamese Mass. Most of those availing this service expressed their desire to attend the Vietnamese Mass every Sunday.

While most Messenger App allows group messaging, there is usually a cap on the maximum number (usually 256) of group members. Telegram allows us to get in touch with more than 200k of members in a group which is more than enough for our needs.

Due to the circuit breaker lock-down we are reverting back to On-Line Mass until the 3rd of June. Weekday Masses are live-streamed at 7:30 AM and 7:00 PM while Sunday Masses will be at 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM. Please visit our Facebook Page for On-Line Streaming: www.facebook.com/hfpcam

During the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have been made aware more than ever about the handicapped with regard to the records that we have in our parish office. We have the postal addresses of people enrolled in our Thanksgiving Program but we do not have the updated contact details of those who come to our weekend celebrations. As much as we want to get in touch with as many of you as possible, we didn't have the facility. If you wish to receive information from the parish or reach out to other parishioners, lock-down or not, it would be nice to have your updated information on how to reach you. We would like to get in touch with you and send you some updates from our parish. If you are interested, please text your FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME and EMAIL ADDRESS from your MOBILE PHONE to: 0452 463 670

You may use our new secure parcel mailbox to send your Thanksgiving Envelopes, Mass Intentions or any communications you need to send to the office during this time of lock-down.

Professional Standards Unit 23 Apr 2020 The Professional Standards Unit has designed an online learning video to assist all those involved in the implementation of child safety policies and procedures within a Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne parish, agency or entity. Each parish, agency or entity within the Archdiocese is required to form a Safeguarding Committee, and in this video the PSU explains the role of this committee, suitability of candidates for the role and how this committee might operate.

We have recently installed a garden bench to complement our Grotto. The bench came from Commercial Systems Australia, the usual supplier for park benches around the country. We hope this would help those visiting Our Lady for prayer and contemplation.
