“Verbum caro factum est” – ‘The Word became flesh” (Jn 1:14)
Dear Parishioners and Visitors, “the Word became flesh”,To everyone, a Merry Christmas
and a blessed New Year 2019!
Hopefully, viewing our website will be informative, and helps you to be familiar with the different activities of our Parish life. The programs and ministries of various groups in our parish can equally be accessed.
Our parish has been in existence since 1892 and is located in the Northern part of the Gold Coast region. Through various facilities, association and groups, Southport Parish has ministered and continues to serve many generations of Catholics residing in and visiting the Gold Coast today.
In recent times Southport Parish has embraced people of various nationalities and ethnic communities who come together to worship in our three Churches and call Southport Parish their spiritual home.
Father Jan Bialasiewicz - PP
Southport Catholic Parish is one of the largest Parishes in Australia. We now encompass areas from Runaway Bay in the North and Surfers Paradise in the South.
"Spiritual progress tends toward ever more intimate union with Christ." (CCC 2014). This is a journey that lasts a lifetime and should be continually nourished by ongoing spiritual formation.
Like everything on the Gold Coast more is being demanded of us, especially in the area of social care and welfare. It is in this area that there needs to be significant development in the future and, with God’s help, we will be able to further the reign of God here on the Coast.
The challenge of ministering to a mobile community, and a rapidly changing church, are no less in significance than those facing our early pioneers. There are many ways that you can serve both in and beyond the Parish.
