Mass Times

St Margaret Mary’s Church

Closed for Renovations until Aug 11th

The parquetry flooring will be resurfaced and the vinyl flooring will be replaced. During this time, all St Margaret Mary’s regular Masses & Confessions will be held in Mater Dei Church, Woodville Park.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation, and apologise for any inconvenience caused. If you need help with getting to Mater Dei Church, or if you can give someone a lift, please let us know.

Please donate

The upcoming church floor renovations are expected to cost approximately $56,000. Our church is a treasured place of worship, prayer, and community. If you are in a position to contribute, we warmly invite you to
consider making a donation towards this important project. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help preserve and maintain our church for current and future generations to enjoy. Thank you for your generosity and support.
