Welcome to Living Waters Catholic Parish. United in the Risen Jesus we journey together into our Easter season in the Light of Christ as a hope filled people. While not able to join together in our Churches for prayer, we are bonded together through the Spirit with each other and the whole Church. One parish of five communities we are a people of faith, a people who care for each other and reach out to others with the mission of peace, a peace that only Jesus Christ can bring to our world. As Jesus joined the disciples on the way to Emmaus he joins us in these days, amidst any confusion, lack of hope and despair. He speaks to us and our hearts again burn within us, and we recognise him in the breaking of the bread. He is our Life. As such and so  in all our prayers we seek to fulfil Archbishop Mark’s words in the Decree of Establishment of Living Waters Parish:

"In John’s Gospel, Jesus offers ‘living water’ to the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well. May the rivers and waterways of this new parish always be a reminder of Jesus’ promise to this ‘living water’ and may it become, in the people, a spring of water welling up to eternal life.

May Our Lady, Mother of God and Mother of the Church, intercede with the Father for rich blessings to come to Living Waters parish through Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit."

Peaceful Blessings,
Fr David Pascoe
