Welcome to the Catholic Parish of St. Brigid's, Marrickville

       
 
Parish Pastoral Plan
     
 

The Parish of St. Brigid's is a family for all.  The Liturgy and prayer, the many programs and initiatives of the parish are guided by the Parish Pastoral Plan.  This Strategic Plan was drawn up originally in 2003 to guide our parish until 2007. It is continually reviewed, assessed and added to.

The Goal of the Parish pastoral Plan is expressed in our Mission Statement:

 

To achieve this goal as a parish family, we have focused on seven key elements.  We want St. Brigid's to be a parish where:

  • prayer and liturgical celebration are central to our lives;
  • parish life is enriched by the involvement of all;
  • young people are supported and involved in parish life;
  • cultural richness is celebrated in building a united community;
  • we act to bring justice in our local community and beyond;
  • our faith journey is enhanced by life long learning;
  • there is effective stewardship of our resources.

Each of these elements is achieved through a number of particular strategies, activities or programs.  Some are recurring each year such as the annual budget or the catechetical program in our government schools.  Others have a more particular focus such as the providing of housing to a refugee family.

 

 
St Brigid’s is a Christ-centered, Eucharistic community
in which people of many cultures worship God
and inspire each other to live the Gospel message
