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.

DO YOU KNOW OF ANY AVAILABLE RENTAL ACCOMMODATION IN THE AREA?
Nepean Welcoming Immigrants and Newcomers with Dignity (Nepean Wind) is a group made up of parishioners from our parish of Christ Our Light and the parish of St Mary of the Cross, Mordialloc/Aspendale. We are supporting a Syrian refugee family (2 parents, 3 young daughters) who will arrive in Australia at the end of this month. Unfortunately, we have had to reconsider the suitability of the house we were going to rent and so are continuing our search for a rental home. If you or anyone you know can assist with accommodation, please get in touch. Contact: Theresa Thomas (0400 126 010) or Joan Kenny (0428 584 327)
