Mission: Our Parish is a community of communities, in our diversity we find unity and strength as members of the Body of Christ. Together we belong, grow and connect, the parts working together for the good of the whole body. Our Parish leadership is collaborative and transparent, encouraging active dialogue between communities where all voices are valued and listened to. The identity of Eucharistic Communities within the Parish is respected and the principle of subsidiarity is applied. (Those things that can be decided at the lowest level are decided at that level). Our Parish has a preferential option for the poor, creating conditions for the marginalised voices to be heard, to defend defenseless and to assess lifestyles, policies and social institutions in terms of their impact on the poor. This option does not mean pitting one community against another, but rather it calls us to strengthen the whole community by assisting those who are most vulnerable.

Financial data as at March 2025. Sourced from Charities Services register.
Charities Services Tier 3 reporting allows charities under $2M revenue to file a simple-format annual return rather than audited financial statements. The return reports totals but not the program/administration split or the line-item detail our template needs. No red flags were detected in what was filed, and revenue is below the $2M Tier 2 boundary where audited accounts become mandatory. A letter grade is withheld rather than assigning one that would be driven by the template-fit, not the charity's operations. The charity's filed figures are shown above, and any structural concerns a donor would want to look at are surfaced separately. (v3.3 — aligned with Charities Services tier boundary; matches Charity Navigator and CharityWatch US practice.)

These structural observations are drawn from public data and are worth considering before a donation. They are not allegations of wrongdoing, and they don’t affect the charity’s letter grade.

Each signal is a data-driven observation, not a judgement. They fire automatically from the figures filed with Charities Services. A charity can address any of these by filing fuller disclosure or updating its officer register. Methodology: /about/methodology/concern-signals.
