Our Parish family has a rich heritage. It is truly a life-giving community celebrating the faith handed down by all the faith-filled people who have gone before us. Each and every day we strive to live out our vision: “Glorifying God by our lives as we journey and serve together.”
We have churches across the Macleay Valley including :- Kempsey, South West Rocks, Crescent Head, Smithtown and Willawarrin.
