Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains warmly welcomed Bishop Vincent Long Van Nguyen OFM Conv as the fourth Bishop of Parramatta on the evening of Thursday 16 June 2016 in St Patrick’s Cathedral, Parramatta.

The Catholic Mass, attended by thousands, was concelebrated by His Grace Most Rev Anthony Fisher OP, Archbishop of Sydney, the Pope’s representative to Australia, His Excellency Most Rev Adolfo Tito Yllana, Apostolic Nuncio to Australia, Archbishops and Bishops of Australia, clergy of the Diocese of Parramatta and visiting clergy.

During his homily, Bishop Vincent said he was humbled by his appointment. ‘I am very honoured and humbled by this appointment and grateful for the opportunity to serve the Church in Parramatta during this time,’ Bishop Vincent said. ‘As your Bishop, I am committed to be a bridge builder.’

‘The Scriptures we have heard tonight speak of a radical vision of love, inclusion and human flourishing,’ he said. ‘We should ask ourselves what it means to apply this expansive vision of God to our social matrix and what it means to be a house for all peoples.’

Bishop Vincent said he wanted to be a bridge builder to all communities and reached out to abuse victims, divorcees and the LGBTIQ community in particular.

‘There can be no future for the living church without there being space for those who have been hurt, damaged or alienated, be they abuse victims, survivors, divorcees, gays, lesbians or disaffected members,’ Bishop Vincent said.

Echoing Pope Francis, Bishop Vincent continued, ‘we are urged to be a church where everyone can feel welcomed, loved, forgiven and encouraged to live according to the Gospel… I am committed to make the church in Parramatta the house for all peoples, a church where there is less an experience of exclusion but more an encounter of radical love, inclusiveness and solidarity.’

✨ Year 3 Prayer & Reflection ✨ Our thoughtful Year 3 students spent time this week writing their own prayers about using the Fruits of the Holy Spirit in their lives. In the peaceful setting of the Chapel and the Learning Space, they reflected on how love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control can guide their actions at school, at home, and in their friendships. It was a beautiful moment of stillness, gratitude, and connection 💛🕊️ #Year3 #FruitsOfTheHolySpirit #PrayerInAction #ChapelTime #Reflection #CatholicEducation #FaithInLearning #CatholicSchoolsParramattaDiocese

⚽️ Boys Soccer Gala Day ⚽️ It was an incredible day out on the field! Our boys showed up with passion, energy, and a true love for the game. It was more than just goals, it was a celebration of teamwork, camaraderie, and great sportsmanship. From the first whistle to the final play, the boys supported each other, played with heart, and represented our school with pride and respect. Whether they were cheering from the sidelines or passing the ball on the pitch, the sense of unity and friendship was clear to see. A huge thank you to the coaches, parents, and volunteers who made today possible. Here's to more days like this—full of spirit, skill, and smiles! 🥅⚽👏
