Welcome to Living Waters Catholic Parish. United in the Risen Jesus we journey together in the Light of Christ as a hope filled people. One parish which includes the Catholic communities of Bribie Island, Beachmere, Caboolture, Woodford and Kilcoy, we are a people of Christian faith, a people who care for each other and reach out to others in Jesus Christ with the mission of peace, justice and love of neighbour. With the Church in Australia at this time we are praying that the Spirit guide us through the Plenary Council, and hopefully await the outcomes of the Council for our way into the future. So, as 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
