St Dominic's is a welcoming community of devoted Catholic Christians looking towards evangelization and justice.
Confession
“ If any one sees his brother committing what is not a mortal sin, he will ask, and God will give him life for those whose sin is not mortal. There is sin which is mortal; I do not say that one is to pray for that. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin which is not mortal” (1 John 5:16-17).
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is offered each day of the year except Sundays and public holidays. In the event you cannot make it to confession at the usual times, please contact the Parish Office to arrange an appointment with a priest.

Graciously hear the prayers of those who call upon you,
we ask, O Lord,
and forgive the sins of those who confess to you,
granting us in your kindness both pardon and peace.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Our Lady, Refuge of Sinners, pray for us.
St Dominic, our father, pray for us.
Anointing of the Sick
“All those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Jesus; and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them” (Luke 4:40).
The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is available for those living with chronic or potentially life-threatening illness. A communal celebration is usually held during Advent, Lent, and around St Dominic’s day in August. Otherwise, please contact the Parish Office to arrange a home visit for the Anointing.
Almighty ever-living God, eternal health of believers,
hear our prayers for your servants who are sick:
grant them, we implore you, your merciful help,
so that, with their health restored,
they may give you thanks in the midst of your Church.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Our Lady, Health of the Sick, pray for us.
St Dominic, our father, pray for us.
