My beloved parishioners of Our Lady of the Annunciation Parish,
I would like to take this opportunity to convey my personal gratitude for the wonderful support that you have given me during my 7 years’ tenure as your parish priest.
I will cherish the beautiful memories that you have given me and as the Parish embarks on its new chapter, I wish you all a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Father Michael Lim
Hello from Father Michael, Deacon Vince, Sister Kathleen, Cathy and the Parish Office!
Sacramental Programmes for 2025 are now open.

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.
