Our Vision Statement
Our Lady of the Southern Cross Parish is a safe community of love that believes in the power of the Holy Spirit to change lives and form disciples who bring people to Jesus.
As a disciple, I commit to grow by worshipping, connecting, learning, serving, giving and making disciples.

Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
“He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed Him.”Matthew 4:22
Just as Jesus called the first apostles, He calls each of us to follow Him, too. Not everyone is called to leave their business or family behind, but we are expected to put God first in everything. In gratitude to God, we should give our first and best of everything to Him: our time in daily prayer, our talent in participating in one of our parish ministries and our treasure to support the financial needs of our parish mission.

A VOCATION VIEW:
Jesus said: "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men." Today he could say: "I will make you mechanics of souls; doctors of wounded hearts, counsellors of broken families; clowns in a joyless society." But regardless, Come.
