Diocese of Parramatta

In our Biblical tradition, there is a strong emphasis on the way God uses little things to make big things happen. The Kingdom of God does not manifest itself in size, in success and in power. Instead, it is found in the smallness of the mustard seed, in in the poverty of the widow’s mite, in the rarity of the pearl or in the insignificance of the yeast.

Like a noble cedar that provides a home for every winged creature, we are called to persevere in the enterprise of the Kingdom. The Church becomes the instrument by which the Kingdom extends its branches worldwide and brings forth fruit from all nations.

In a world crying out for Jesus Christ’s message of love and salvation, we must share the constant message of faith, hope and love for all. As long as we embody that vision of Church in our practice, we become a lighthouse for the world. May we learn the art of vitality in smallness and increase the quality of our faith and relationship in this fallow time.

If you can manage to do so, please consider a Thanksgiving Offertory gift to support our parish priests in sharing the Gospel and for the evangelical work of your parish.

Any gift, whatever you can give, will nurture our parishes’ spiritual vitality and Christian pastoral care that brings love, hope and joy to our community.

Our parishes rely on our faith community’s generosity to sustain our liturgical, sacramental, pastoral care and charitable works - and we are ever grateful for your faithful support.

If you can consider a gift of sustained support through planned giving, the best way is through safe, easy, automatic monthly online donations.

To support your parish with a one-off or recurring gift, please give via the form below, or contact your parish direct.

Such committed faithful support enables us to advance our ministry and more widely share Jesus Christ’s message of love and salvation.
