About Us

Our Lady Help of Christians (OLHC) Parish was formed on February 16, 1980. Back then, Narre Warren was a small town with a few homes and many farmlands. But the community began to grow under the fatherly gaze of Fr. John Readman, its first Parish Priest. Today, it is one of Australia’s largest and most diverse Catholic Parishes.

The liturgical life of the Catholic Church revolves around the Eucharist and the Sacraments. The Sacraments help us to live holy and meaningful lives, nourishing and strengthening our souls for God’s holy purposes in and through us.

Parish Prayer

God our creator and guide, we thank you for your many blessings on our Parish of Narre Warren.

You have richly blessed our land with wealth, freedom and beauty.

You have richly blessed our parish with people of many nations who believe and trust in your Son Jesus Christ.

To you we commend all the people of our parish family.

May their homes be places where the love of your Son Jesus is clearly reflected and his Gospel lived.

Guide us always and let us continue to walk in your light, through Jesus your Son.

Mary Help of Christians, pray for us.

Amen.
