Our Lady Star of the Sea

Our Parish Patronal Feast Day

We will celebrate our parish patronal feast day on Sunday 28 September at the 10 am Mass.

All are welcome, and invited to remain after Mass for refreshments.

Back in 1852, our parish was fittingly entrusted to Our Lady Star of the Sea (Stella Maris), patroness of seafarers, due to Melbourne’s port laying in the church’s shadow. Our Lady’s intercession, care, and protection, was invoked for the many Catholic immigrants flooding in during the Gold Rush, and today, as pilgrims on our own journey, we too invoke our Lady Star of the Sea to be our guiding star to Jesus. Let us pray for our parishioners, priests and visitors, and those who have passed on, whose prayers, donations, and labour gave us this incredible church.

  Our Lady Star of the Sea, Pray for us!
