Please feel free to read more about our church on this site, or come in for a visit. We would love to greet you and share with you our love for Jesus Christ and for you, our neighbor.
Our Mission
We believe that the door to salvation is always open and so are the doors to our church. Our mission is to be fully devoted to Jesus by opening our arms to those in search of the truth. We show God’s love and concern for our fellow man at every opportunity. Through works of charity and opening our doors to listen and love, we feel that we are walking in the footsteps of Jesus Christ.

MESSAGE FROM FR ALAN FOX
Dear Parishioners of St Agnes,
I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a Happy New Year, mindful that 2020 was a demanding and challenging year to say the least.
As we know the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic have been far reaching and devastating for many communities across the globe. Our challenges remain, with a number of locally acquired infections being reported in Melbourne’s South East, albeit in much smaller numbers than what we’re hearing about in other parts of the world. Nonetheless the important regime of hand hygiene, mask wearing, social distancing and record keeping will need to continue, for the foreseeable future.
In addition to the above practices, I would like to remind you to book in prior to attending weekend Masses at either St Agnes’ church or Our Lady’s church, Cheltenham. This practice helps us significantly with our record-keeping obligations. Bookings can be access at the following link:

Please stay safe and well, and let’s pray that this new year will bring with it a much improved global health situation.
God bless,
Fr Alan Fox
Parish Priest
