Our Mission

Faith, worship and service at the heart of our community

Mary Mother of the Church Catholic Parish exists to make the Gospel of Jesus Christ present in Macquarie Fields and the surrounding suburbs of south-west Sydney. As a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), our parish provides a place of worship, Catholic religious services, teaching, pastoral care and social support for people of every age, culture and background.

Our parish is served by the Society of the Divine Word (SVD) — the Divine Word Missionaries — an international religious congregation dedicated to sharing the Good News across cultures. That missionary spirit shapes our parish: we are proudly multicultural, and our community reflects the rich diversity of Macquarie Fields itself.

“Come to me, all you who labour and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
