Our Parish

About us

Welcome to our ever-expanding parish community dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and St. Oswald! We were founded in the late 1950s. At the heart of our faith, we honour and draw inspiration from these beloved patrons.

The Sacred Heart symbolizes Christ’s boundless love and mercy for all humanity, a devotion deeply cherished by Catholics worldwide. St. Oswald, known for his steadfast faith and leadership, exemplifies courage and commitment to God’s will. Join us in celebrating the feast days of these revered patrons: the Feast of the Sacred Heart on the Friday seven weeks after Easter, and the Feast of St. Oswald on August 5th. As we commemorate these special occasions, let us reflect on the profound love of Christ and the inspiring legacy of St. Oswald, guiding us in our journey of faith and service to others.

We invite you to participate in our parish activities, worship services, and community events as we strive to emulate the compassionate hearts of Jesus and St. Oswald in our daily lives. May their intercession strengthen our faith and inspire us to live with love, integrity, and compassion.
