After many months of looking for a perfect church to get married in. I found the dream I have been looking for. The Church is truly a magical experience. The stained glass windows are beautiful and the calming auora is wonderful. Congratulations on a wonderful church. I'm sure my experience of having my wedding there will be just as wonderful.

Well done Fr. Mario, Sr. Marg and parishioners of Horsley Park. It has been a powerfully spiritual experience journeying with you all over the last six and a bit years. I will always carry in my heart the genuine way you celebrate community in a modern world expressing effectively the values of family, love, welcome and hospitality. Your outreach, generosity and support are a true witness of the human face of a God who is living and active. Go gently and God's many blessings.
Love and unity

This church was mentioned by a very near and dear friend - Vivienne Lazarus from Australia. We are miles apart, met after 10 long years over the net and slowly progressed to fall deeply in love with each other. There are many obstacles in our way. We wish and pray to be together in Australia some day....hopefully soon enough. I request the priests there to please say a prayer for us that we may somehow get together soon. I have a lot of faith in God and I pray that our wishes are soon granted.
Thank you.

Happy New Year, to the Horsley Park Community, the friendship, and warmth which one projects is a comfort to visitors to the Church and the Horsley Community. May we ponder the right and wrongs, but in a new society, it is important to adhere to the new generation, because we are not always right, just because we did it in our older generation, show support to the younger generation, and invite their new ideals and vision, which are more relevent to our modern society.
Keep up the great work, Fathers Jude, Mario and the all the great people of the Church Community. Let us make 2002 the Year to Remeber. God Bless and get involved.

Glad I found this site. I have been involved with the Maltese Queen of Victories Band of SA for most of my life. It's our 20th anniversary next year. Would be great to travel interstate to perform our Maltese Marches and concert music for another Maltese Feast of Our Lady in Australia. Better get back to editing our newsletter. The Sound of Music.

I dont agree with the comments of Coll and Paul, Annette and Ian. If the photo were of 20 years ago to see him with a beautiful, curly black hair I would agree l00%!!! ( I am convinced that Jude knows how to take a joke from DOMO.!!!) It's a good job Jude and Mario. It's very informative. Having spent three years administering the people of God in that lovely parish, I would like to see what's going on for the service of the parishioners of Our Lady. Keep it up. See you soon!!!
