Our patroness

A message of prayer, conversion and peace.

In 1917 three shepherd children at Fatima were asked to pray the Rosary for peace. More than a century later that request still shapes this parish, from our daily Rosary and our First Saturdays down to the name above our door.

Welcome home

There is a place for you here.

When you come through our doors you are not a visitor. Vidyavihar has been home to this parish family for many years, and the church has grown the way families do, slowly and together, around the altar.

Whether you have come for Sunday Mass, to sit quietly before Our Lady, or because something has brought you back after years away, you are welcome here.

Fr Ashok Gonsalves, Parish Priest
