About our Parish

Christ the Redeemer Maronite Catholic Parish was established on 2nd April 2016 to bring the Maronite Catholic Community in The Hills together to build a home to worship in our Maronite tradition and to serve with joy and generosity.

About our Parish

Be a part of our ever-growing parish community; we have over 25 different ministries at Christ the Redeemer and space for everyone to be a part of something special at our parish.

WHO WE ARE AS MARONITES

Christ the Redeemer – Maronite Catholic Parish of the Hills was established to give the local Maronite Catholic Community a place to gather and worship. This initiative is with the encouragement and blessing of His Excellency Bishop Antoine-Charbel Tarabay and in accordance with the Sixth Priority, “Maronite Outreach” of our Maronite Diocesan Seven Year Plan set by the Bishop in 2013, where, with the support of Clergy and laity, the Bishop aims to open new Mass Centres and develop new Maronite Catholic parishes. The first committee meeting was held on the 1st of July 2015, with our first Mass celebrated at Oakhill College on the 6th of December 2015.

Now well established as a Maronite Catholic Parish in the Hills District, we have been holding weekly Saturday evening and Sunday morning Masses at Mary Mount Mercy Centre Chapel and Sunday afternoon and evening Masses at Our Lady of Lourdes Baulkham Hills along with Tuesday evening Monthly Masses and Friday evening Monthly Adoration. The Parish Centre and Priest Residence is located at 669 Old Northern Road, Dural.

Since the Parish Planning Forum Days (9 April 2016 & 28 May 2016), the vision has been to find a permanent central location to build a Communal Sanctuary of Faith, Truth and Love in Jesus Christ where the community could continue to gather, worship and grow in faith. The outcomes of the Planning Forum Days established a basis for the property criteria and the Parish Priorities.

It was with great excitement that Monsignor Shora Maree announced on the 27th of June 2020 that after nearly 5 years of searching, researching and negotiating,

669 Old Northern Road, Dural was secured by way of a 12-month option agreement.

With many committees, groups and gatherings, we aim to give everyone the opportunity to be part of the Vision.
