Every 2nd Sunday of each month, a Filipino mass is celebrated at St Patrick’s Cathedral in Parramatta. We went there on the 14th of June.
|
The main entry door… but is no longer used. Behind it is the altar.
|
At the rear is where the new entrance is…
|
|
The church’s interior has been reconfigured with modern fit out.
|
Behind the church is the Murphy House, built in 1904 as a Presbytery in memory of Father Peter Bede Murphy, a popular young priest at that time. He died at the old Presbytery on the same site where the Murphy House now stands.
|
|
|
The old church is no longer used for regular masses. A modern structure has been built beside it. Still called St Patrick’s Cathedral, this is where regular church services are being held.
|
|
|
The interior is modern as well…
|
|
|
The church fixtures are contemporary works of art too…
|
|
|
|
The Filipino mass…
|
|
|
|
|
After the mass is a feast at the church’s multi-purpose hall! Some Filipinos bring food to share to those who decide to stay awhile after attending the Sunday service. There’s enough food for everyone, and mostly Filipino dishes.
|
Outside, winter is almost here…
|
|
In front of the church is Our Lady of Mercy College...
|
And in the vicinity are nice looking old houses…
|

Nice subject and excellent shots. Thanks for sharing!
