Our parish is maintained financially by the generous giving of the parishioners. The basis of this is through the 'Sacrifical Giving' programme. If you can help with Parish projects by increasing your direct giving, or by joining the Sacrifical giving programme, please find and complete a card at the back of the church, or contact John Casey, caseyjp@ozemail.com.au or 0409918656.

Awning for Engadine Church

(updated 08/03/2012).

This attractive awning now provides great benefits for many parish groups and sacraments during times of rain and heat, for example: weddings, funerals, baptisms, confirmation, 1^st communions, Palm Sunday, Youth groups for their fund raisers, morning tea after family Masses, Piety stall, etc. The cover will also provide protection for the disabled and aged while entering their cars.

Our builders Hansen Yuncken anticipate completion by mid December. Whilst completed 2 weeks late due primarily to rain, it was done in time for Christmas (more ...)

Path between car park and entry to church

When the covered entry to the church was completed we replaced the old damaged path between the car park and the front entry to the church. We were concerned that the old path had cracks and was lifted in places and had become un-safe. We was completed just prior to Christmas 2011. (updated 08/03/2012).

The Salesian Garden

You will recall that we have discussed transforming what was the grassed area between the front of the Engadine Church (on Banksia Ave) and the car park, into a garden.

We have now completed the design of the garden. The photo to the left is a model of one of the six bollards. The final product will be 1.8m high and 450mm in diameter. In January 2012, after completion of the new covered entry, we commenced the work. The project will be done progressively throughout 2012.

We hope that it will be a fun and attractive garden that will be the talk of town, for all the right reasons. (updated 08/03/2012)

Assistance for the people with impaired hearing

The hearing loops have now been installed in the centre two aisles of Engadine Church (updated 19/06/2011)

When Heathcote Church was build a device called a hearing loop was installed in the body of the church to enable people with hearing aids to receive a much clearer quality of sound. We have investigated the option of installing a similar device in Engadine Church and the Finance committee has approved installation. The device will work for people sitting in the centre two aisles, and suitable signage will be placed at the rear of the church. The necessary cabling will be placed under the carpet surrounding the area of the centre two aisles - hence the term "Hearing Loop". The cable is approximately 1cm thick, so will have no effect on safety down the aisles.
