African Community Mass and Gathering (18 May)

Event Details

The African Mass was initiated by African Catholics living in New South Wales, with the aim of uniting African communities from diverse cultural backgrounds in worship.

The last African Mass, held in 2017, was a tremendous success. It fostered a strong sense of belonging among African Catholics and powerfully demonstrated unity in diversity.

This year, in response to the growing number of African migrants – particularly within the Diocese of Parramatta – a committee comprising representatives from various African communities has come together to organise the African Mass once again.

While the primary goal is to bring African Catholics together in faith, the broader vision is to strengthen community bonds by developing targeted social, health, and welfare programs that deliver meaningful and lasting impact.

Date: Sunday 18 May 2025

Time: 12.30pm arrival for 1PM Mass

Venue: St Patrick’s Cathedral, 1 Marist Place, Parramatta.

There will be a community gathering following the Mass, until 4pm.
