Parish Welcome and Mass times

Father KMIt is always a joy to welcome people of our Silkwood Parish which includes communities at El Arish, Kurrimine Beach, Japoonvale and Silkwood.

Like so many other parishes across the country and the western world, we do feel the impact of smaller worshipping communities, but our faith tradition and practice is both deep and strong. In our faith life we strive to provide support and service to the communities in which we live, and maintain a proud liturgical tradition and practice.

The parish embraces two Catholic Churches including St John’s at Silkwood and Our Lady of Fatima at El Arish.

I am confident you will find in St John’s School all the hallmarks of our wider parish life. It is my hope the school will provide a worthy doorway for you into the wider faith community that is our home in this area.

Welcome and blessings.
