WELCOME TO OUR PARISH WEBSITE
There are two churches, which belong to our Parish: Holy Spirit in Thornbury East and St Anthony's in Alphington. There are also two primary schools. For children who do not attend a Catholic school, we offer a comprehensive Religious Education Program. Incorporated into this program are: the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation. We are one Christian Family!
This site was created not only for the benefit of our parishioners but also for anyone who would be interested in our activities. If you would like to become a catholic or renew your catholic faith, we would love to hear from you ASAP! You are ALWAYS welcome to our community! You can even become a member of one of many groups existing in our parish or you can simply choose to be part of the parish as whole.
Jesus saved us as a community and He wants us to worship Him as a community (not only as individuals). So, come and see, experience God’s mercy, compassion and Christian love among us!
In Christ the Saviour

MESSAGE FROM FR IRENEUSZ
Dear friends, the end of May is a special time in our parish and the Catholic Community in Australia. On 22 May we remember 65th anniversary of the consecration of the Holy Spirit church in East Thornbury. On 25 May we venerate Mother of Jesus as “Mary Help of Christians”. On 31 May our East Thornbury church becomes a special place for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit as we celebrate the Solemnity of Pentecost. During this time of coronavirus, all our significant events have a new dimension and meaning. I think, today’s situation helps us to focus on important things in life and gives us an opportunity to meditate upon many significant occasions.
