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

​ANNUAL PETER’S PENCE COLLECTION - 24TH/25TH JULY
This weekend’s collection is an annual collection of the Catholic Church around the world. The collection allows the Holy Father to respond to the  most needy throughout the world, to offer timely, effective emergency assistance to our suffering brother and sisters. In the Archdiocese of Brisbane, we take this collection up as a retiring collection. Thank you for your support.
