Welcome

Welcome, and thank you for visiting St Agnes' Catholic Church, Highett online. We hope that our website highlights the wide variety of worship, fellowship and service opportunities available. 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.

Sacraments

The Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church states: "Christian initiation is accomplished by means of the sacraments which establish the foundations of Christian life. The faithful born anew by Baptism are strengthened by Confirmation and are then nourished by the Eucharist."

LATEST NEWS

FATHERS DAY APPEAL 2021

As COVID restrictions prevented us from gathering for Masses on the first Sunday of September, ‘Fathers Day’, the annual appeal in support of the Priests Retirement Foundation did not take place. Support for our retired priests remains crucial and so all parishes have been asked to reschedule this collection a.s.a.p. We have rescheduled the appeal for next weekend, 27th/28th November. Envelopes are available, and all donations of $2+ are tax-deductible. Thank you to those who have already donated via the appeal envelope included with the sets of Thanksgiving envelopes

​

WELCOME NEWS:

With the easing of COVID restrictions, i.e. the removal of both density quotients and caps on numbers, bookings for Masses are no longer necessary

REQUEST FOR VOLUNTEERS:

Volunteers are giving some of their time in tidying up the grounds of OLA Church on Saturday 4th December from 10am. With no opportunity to do this work over the last couple of months, I am asking if any available parishioners could consider giving an hour of their time to help out please.
