St John Vianney's Catholic Parish

​​Manly and Gumdale

Our Mission

We follow the words of our patron, St John Vianney, who said "He is here".

We recognize Christ is in the Word, the Eucharist, and in us, His people with a special reverence for Him in the poor and marginalized.

We are called to make Christ present through our prayer and charity.

We seek to grow in our spiritual lives and create a community where everyone is welcome; the young and old, together to experience the loving presence of God.

We believe He is here amongst us and we joyfully go out to make Him present to all.

Community News

The Vinnies Winter Appeal will be held in the Parish for the balance of June. The Appeal is to raise much needed funds for your local Manly Parish Conference to distribute to the needy within our parish area. One of our friendly Vinnies volunteers will be at each of the SJV masses in June to offer you a donation envelope. At St Jude’s, envelopes will be available in the back of the church for all June masses. Please donate generously and place your completed envelope in the collection box/bag, to ensure your donation remains in the Parish. Donations over $2 are tax deductible, so please fill out your details on the envelope if you require a tax receipt. We look forward to your continuing support of the work of the St John Vianney - Manly Conference in our community. Thank you.
