Welcome....

Our Parish strives to be a welcoming community that lives the Good News of the Gospel in its actions and programs. Whether you are looking for a new parish home, just visiting us for a short time, returning to the practice of your Catholic faith or are just wanting to find out more about the Catholic Church, our parish community are most happy to have you with us.

Through our parish we have the opportunity to grow spiritually and put our faith into action through giving some of our gifts of time and talents. We hope you will share your time and talents with us, your Parish family, friends and community, by participating in our various ministries, social services, activities and spiritual experiences.

There is a wide range of activities (described in the Groups & Ministries section of this website), through which you may be able to do this.  The amount of time and effort needed varies and there is something to suit many different life situations. There may be something that interests you.  The opportunity is there for you to enrich your spiritual life in a practical way and to also increase your sense of belonging to our community. Please do not hesitate to contact the Parish Office if you need more information.

May God Bless you and your Family,
Fr Mark Percival, Parish Priest

SAFEGUARDING SUNDAY
The Catholic Church in Australia marks Safeguarding Sunday 2024 today on the 8th September, at the conclusion of National Child
Protection Week. Safeguarding Sunday seeks to acknowledge the immense damage caused by the sexual abuse of children and adults at risk, including by priests, religious and lay people within Catholic contexts. It makes a commitment to practices and protocols that create and maintain safe environments for all people. It invites people to pray for those harmed by abuse directly and indirectly.

This year Safeguarding Sunday has adopted the theme of National Child Protection Week - “Every conversation matters”. Embracing this theme, we are reminded that every conversation about safeguarding matters. Children and adults at risk are more likely to raise concerns and issues in an organisation that empowers and listens to them, and creating space for children and adults to have a say in decisions that affect them is an integral part of every safe organisation.

The Catholic Parish of Corinda Graceville and the Archdiocese of Brisbane are committed to the care, wellbeing and protection of children, young people and people at risk in our community. Mindful of the theme for National Child Protection Week, may we work to create safe spaces where we can have meaningful conversations with
children and adults at risk about their safety. You can find out more about the Church’s work in this area at: https://www.catholic.au/s/article/Safeguarding-Sunday-2024
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY
The Catholic Parish of Corinda Graceville acknowledge the Jagera people, the Traditional Owners who have walked upon and cared for this land for thousands of years. We acknowledge the continued deep spiritual attachment and relationship of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to this country and commit ourselves to the ongoing journey of Reconciliation.
SAFEGUARDING POLICY STATEMENT
“…for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. Mark 10.14
The Archdiocese of Brisbane holds that children, young people and vulnerable adults are a gift from God with an intrinsic right to dignity of life, respect and security from physical and emotional harm. They are to be treasured, nurtured and safeguarded by all.”
