About Us

This church building was opened and blessed in 1977 and was extensively renovated in 2003. The conversion of the front veranda to a glassed-in atrium and the extension for the parish centre and administration building were completed in 2008. These improvements have made parish life much more comfortable and efficient.

Construction has now started on the long-awaited Child Care Centre which will be operated by Centacare in the grounds of St Gerard's. Though parking is now difficult, this will be remedied when the centre is complete.

The parish also has a community hall and tennis court, both of which are very popular and well patronised.

Led by Fr Gerard, the parish community is strong and vibrant. There has been a long history of parishioner involvement, with many having actually worked together to build the church, presbytery and hall. Today, numbers of these long-term parishioners are still living in the area and are committed, with newer members, to our current projects, the largest of which is the annual Christmas Festival during December. The parish is truly blessed by the abundance of talent so generously and enthusiastically shared with the community.

Newcomers are always made very welcome at St Gerard’s, so if you're new to the parish please make yourselves known to us by writing your name in the book provided at the back of the church. Alternatively or additionally, call into the Parish Office during office hours (9am – 5pm Monday to Friday) and introduce yourself to Father Gerard or Kate, our Parish Manager.
