Welcome to St. Pat’s,
There’s a place here for you.
RSVP:https://forms.gle/6JrjcKkg4TJweSP8A
At the BBQ, Fr Richard will be launching a men's initiative for Lent — rather that giving up chocolate, do something more meaningful! It will involve a weekly meeting and daily challenges/tasks. Come along to find out more! And if you can’t make the BBQ but are still interested, please still RSVP and select “no, but keep me updated”

Seniors morning Tea
Stay tuned for our next Morning Tea. All Seniors welcome!
Family Mass
The family is the domestic church but it certainly doesn’t hurt to bring the domestic church to the universal one, so St. Pat’s will be hosting another family Mass at 5pm on Sat 28 Feb 2026. For more details, or to put your child forward for one of the roles, contact Ann Woodhouse
Hiking with fr richard
Help Fr Richard prepare for his 850km Camino! I’ll be going on a long pilgrimage in April-May, and I would like to invite you to join me in my preparation. Here are my next two training walks:
· Saturday 7 Feb, following the 9am Mass: from the Church to Woronora & return, 9-10km. During the walking we’ll pray the Rosary. After the Rosary, may or may not split into two groups depending on ability/interest to jog ahead.
· Saturday 14 Feb, following the 9am Mass: Head to Wanda and walk all the way down to the tip of the Cronulla peninsula via the new Hungry Point Reserve track. Then back to Wanda, brief lunch stop (BYO/buy), then carry-on through the sand dunes to Boat Harbour. Roughly two 9km loops, 18km total—with option to depart early after the first 9km.
Walks will be physically demanding, brisk pace, in warm weather, requiring good fitness. For more info and to please let me know if you’re interested, scan the QR code:

Catechists
We have a fantastic team of catechists who go out to the state schools and hand on the faith. Lead by Bertha, there’s no classroom too far to bring Jesus to. We can always use more catechists so please contact Bertha Fsadni if you are interested.
Choirs
We have two beautiful choirs here at St. Pat’s but the more the merrier so please get in contact with us if you are interested in joining or even starting another choir (good things come in three’s!).
Gardening Group
Please get in contact with us if you would like to help out with gardening and making St. Pat’s beautiful. You only need to show up with gardening gloves and a can-do attitude! The team gets to work on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month between 8.00am & 10.30am. Your help is greatly appreciated and much needed!
