A home of worship and welcome since 1971

Founded in 1971 and named for Our Lady of Perpetual Help, our parish has served the people of Dromana and the surrounding Mornington Peninsula for over fifty years. As part of the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne, we are a small but faithful community devoted to the celebration of the Mass, the sacraments, and loving service to our neighbours.

Who We Are

A parish rooted in the Catholic faith

At the heart of our parish is the celebration of the Holy Mass and the seven sacraments. We are a community shaped by prayer, devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary under her title of Perpetual Help, and a shared desire to grow in faith, hope and love.

Our doors are open to everyone — long-time parishioners, visitors to the Peninsula, young families, and those returning to the Church after time away. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, you are welcome here.
