Welcome

Greetings and Welcome to our Parish website.  

It’s wonderful that you have come to visit us through this media format and I hope that you can find the information that you need here.
 
Our Parish is small in nature but we have great resources in the people of our community. We stand on a wealth of history and of those who have laid a solid foundation of faithful service to Christ in the two communities that make up our region.
 
There are not too many parishes that can claim that their Parish School was established by a Saint!  St Mary MacKillop founded St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School just over 150 years ago and we recognise the importance of our school to our community.
 
We welcome you to connect with our Parish and especially in the celebration of Sunday Mass at either St Benedict’s East Brisbane or St Joseph’s Kangaroo Point.
 
Every blessing to you and your loved ones,
​
Bishop Ken Howell
Auxiliary Bishop - Brisbane and Parish Priest

Pope Francis on December 8, 2020 published an Apostolic Letter Patris corde (With a Father’s Heart), commemorating the 150th anniversary of the declaration of Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. To mark the occasion, the Holy Father has proclaimed a “Year of St Joseph”, running from December 8, 2020 to December 8, 2021.

Please join us as we celebrate with families of St Joseph’s Primary School, the Year of St Joseph, on Sunday 14 March at 9am.  Due to the large numbers expected to attend, booking for this Mass is essential.  Please click on the button below to register to attend.
PARISH LENTEN DISCUSSION GROUP
The parish Lenten Discussion Group commenced last Thursday. It was a wonderful evening of reflection with a small group of parishioners. The Lenten discussions and reflections will continue this Thursday 25 Feb at 7.00pm in St Benedict’s Church through until 25 March. The discussion group supports each individual’s faith journey through Lent and encourages participants to engage in informal reflective conversations with fellow parishioners about the meaning of Lent and the journey to Easter. If you can’t attend every week, that’s okay. We would love to see as many people as possible. Please email or call the parish office so we can ensure we have enough resources. Thank you.​
CALL TO ALL CATHOLICS   In February and March 2021, the Archdiocese of Brisbane will be inviting all baptised Catholics to consider their baptismal call to mission through an advertising campaign, the Call To All Catholics. The advertising will particularly be reaching out to those who are disconnected from the Church and their faith.  To find out more, go to https://evangelisationbrisbane.org.au/baptisedcatholic/
