About us
A parish built on love, faith & service
Our patron
St. Vincent Pallotti (1795–1850)
A Roman priest who believed every baptised person is called to be an apostle, St. Vincent Pallotti founded the Union of Catholic Apostolate. His vision — that lay people and clergy work together to revive faith and kindle charity — lives on in the Pallottine Fathers and Sisters who serve our parish today. His feast is celebrated on 22 January.
