Welcome from the Bishop of Parramatta and the Dean of the Cathedral
Welcome to St Patrick’s Cathedral. This sacred place stands at the heart of our diocesan community – a home of prayer, worship, and service for all.
Here, we are reminded that the Church is not a fortress, but a field hospital – where the wounded are tended, the lost are welcomed, and the Gospel is lived with courage and compassion.
Whether you are a regular parishioner, a visitor, or someone seeking meaning and belonging, know that you are welcome. May you encounter Christ in this place – through the Eucharist, through others, and through the quiet stirrings of your heart.
Most Rev Vincent Long Van Nguyen OFM Conv
Bishop of Parramatta
It is a joy to welcome you to St Patrick’s Cathedral, a spiritual home for many in the heart of Parramatta. Our Cathedral is more than just a place of worship; it is a vibrant community where people of all backgrounds come together to celebrate faith, support one another, and grow in their relationship with Christ.
Whether you are joining us for Mass, seeking the sacraments, or simply looking for a quiet place to pray, we hope you feel at home. May your time here be filled with grace, peace, and the love of Christ.
Very Rev Robert Riedling EV
Dean of the Cathedral
