One Parish, Two Churches
2025

As the Church enters this time of Easter filled with the light and hope of the world, it is with deep sadness that we have received the news of the death of His Holiness, Pope Francis.

We unite with all the People of God in praying for the eternal rest of his soul and entrust him to the tender loving mercy of the Father.

Pope Francis, who came from the peripheries of the world, has been the father of the poor, and a witness of joy and hope. May the Lord, he so faithfully trusted, now welcome him into eternal life.

May he rest in God’s gracious and gentle peace.

Mary, Our Blessed Mother of God, pray for him.
St Francis of Assisi, pray for him.
All Holy Men and Women, Saints of God, pray for him.

Most Rev Peter A Comensoli
Archbishop of Melbourne

Statement on the death of His Holiness, Pope… | Melbourne Catholic

Jesus Christ is Risen! Alleluia!

As we celebrate the glorious Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we welcome you to this blessed Easter season and the Jubilee Year of Hope 2025 at St Luke’s and St Timothy’s. In this sacred time, we are reminded that through the Risen Christ, hope is alive, and we are never alone. His triumph over death is our promise of new life, purpose, and community. Whether you are a regular here, new or returning, you are welcome.

Here, there’s something for everyone—young and old, seekers of truth, those who want to go deeper into their faith or those simply looking to connect. You can connect with God and with each other in our regular worship services, have a cuppa, join us in our regular bible study sessions. There is Young Adults as well as Youth group. For social action and services, you can get involved in the St Vincent de Paul Society as well as being volunteers in various Church ministries. Let us experience the life-giving power of the Risen Christ within a safe space where we can grow, ask questions, and experience God’s love together.

Join us as we walk in the light of the Resurrection, building a community rooted in Faith, Hope, Love, and belonging. Let us dive in the Joy of Easter, the Joy of the Risen Christ, get connected, share conversations, and perhaps experience forgiveness, restoration, healing, transformation and renewal for our hearts and our Church.

Come and See. Come and Belong. Come and Rise.

‘Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”- John 11:25-26

• Daily Prayer

Journeying together in daily life ...

April 2025

What are the Pope's Intentions for the Month of April?

For the use of the new technologies:

Let us pray that the use of the new technologies will not replace human relationships, will respect the dignity of the person, and will help us face the crises of our times.

So we continue ‘Journeying Together In Daily Life - From Structures To Relationships - From Delegation To Involvement’. It is therefore necessary to reawaken in every local reality the awareness that we are the people of God, responsible for incarnating the Gospel in our different contexts and in all daily situations. This involves stepping outside the logic of delegation, which so greatly conditions pastoral action.

Saint Timothy's Catholic Parish acknowledges the Wurundjeri People as the traditional owners of this land.

We also 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.
