St Mary of the Immaculate Conception
St. Mary’s Parish, Avondale is a vibrant, multi-cultural and friendly parish. Our parish logo is ‘Growing in Faith Together’ and it is with this that we see ourselves not as individuals but as a ‘parish family’ who come together to worship, to receive and spread The Word of God and more importantly, to receive The Body and Blood of Christ through Holy Communion.
