Welcome from St Agatha's Parish
It is a joy to welcome you to the website of St Agatha's Parish.
St Agatha's is a welcoming Catholic parish in the heart of our local community. We are a diverse and friendly congregation united by our faith in Jesus Christ and our desire to share His love with others.
Our parish is much more than a building. It is a family of faith where people gather to pray, celebrate, support one another, and grow closer to Christ. Every person who comes through our doors brings unique gifts, experiences, and hopes, and together we seek to build a community rooted in the Gospel.
Whether you are a parishioner, a visitor, someone searching for answers, or simply curious about the Catholic faith, we hope you will find a warm welcome here. We invite you to join us for Mass, become involved in parish life, and share in the journey of faith that unites us.
May St Agatha, our patron saint, pray for you and your loved ones, and may you always find in our parish a place of faith, friendship, and belonging.
NOVEMBER – MONTH OF ALL SOULS
In the month of November, we remember all our loved ones whom God has called from this life and pray for them at our daily Masses. Envelopes are available at back of church for you to put in the list of all loved ones in your family and friends whom have died. You can place a donation inside the envelope. Please hand it to Father or place it in the basket at the altar throughout the month of November.
+++Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen. +++

ANNUAL MASS FOR THE DECEASED CLERGY OF KINGSTON DEANERY
Many of us can recall a priest who touched our lives through his kindness, guidance, prayers, or faithful ministry. Once each year, the priests and people of Kingston Deanery gather as one family in faith to remember and pray for the priests who served our communities and have since been called home to the Lord.
As we give thanks for all they did for our parishes and families, we entrust them once more to God's mercy and pray that they may share in the fullness of eternal life. Please do consider joining us for this beautiful deanery celebration. Your presence and prayers are a meaningful way of honouring those priests who faithfully served God's people among us.
