We are now a partner community with St Alphonsa Parish

We're now two parishes sharing a church and a mission!

The Syro-Malabar community of St Alphonsa Parish officially joined us on 1 May to become a new member of our faith family and a partner at St Jude church. 

The parish priest, Father Binesh Narimattathil, is living in the presbytery next to St Jude church. We ask you for your prayers and support for our new family.

Our Latin Rite Masses at St Jude church will continue under the timetable you're familiar with, and the Syro-Malabar Rite services will be conducted at these times:

Sunday: Mass and Catechism, 8.30am - 1pm and 6.15pm - 7.30pm

Monday: Mass, 5.45pm - 7.15pm
