All Hallows Catholic Parish, Five Dock

Welcome to All Hallows Parish, Five Dock

All Hallows Formation activities for 2023

Join us for the WORD on FIRE Institute’s Formation Program on the Mass (www.WORDONFIRE.org). This 6-week program will help you understand how to fully, consciously and actively participate in the Mass.

“Walk through the Liturgy with Bishop Barron and be transformed through insights on
this most privileged and intimate encounter with our Lord, Jesus Christ. See how the Mass
brings us out of the fallen world and into the heavenly realm, how it revolves around a call from God and a response from his people, the Church, and most importantly, how we are intimately joined with the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus through the Holy Eucharist”.

The program will be facilitated by Ann Kerley on Thursday evenings at 7pm

Dates: 22/6; 29/6; School holiday break; 20/7; 27/7; 3/8; 10/8

Become a Catechist in 2023

Would you like to join? Catechists are needed to teach the children of our parish who attend Five Dock, Abbotsford and Russell Lea Primary Schools. If you are retired or have flexible work hours, this is a great opportunity to share your faith with the children. Join our parish Catechists in this fulfilling mission of sharing the story of Jesus and the hope and joy he brings. Full training is provided.

A Catechist Reflection

“I love teaching children about Jesus, it is a passion which I wish to share. As a Catechist I gain much satisfaction and many rewards from the children”. – Ann.

“I find the role of Catechist most rewarding and fulfilling as I am strengthening my own faith as I teach it to our children.” – Kerrie.
