Welcome to our parish
Faith celebrated, neighbour served
For more than fifty years, our parish church on Foote Street has been a spiritual home for the Catholic community of Dromana, Safety Beach, McCrae, Rosebud and the surrounding peninsula towns.
We gather each week around the altar for the celebration of Mass, we prepare children and adults for the sacraments, we visit the sick and the housebound, and we support local families doing it tough through our parish outreach. Whether you are a lifelong Catholic, returning to the faith, or simply curious, you are warmly welcome here.
- Weekend and weekday Mass open to all
- Sacramental preparation for children and adults
- Practical support for local families in need
- Visits to the sick, elderly and housebound
