OUR
Welcome to St Luke's
Catholic Parish Marsden Park
St Luke’s, located in Marsden Park, Western Sydney, is proud to be Australia’s newest Catholic Parish within the Diocese of Parramatta.
The community was formed on January 1, 2018, when Deacon Tony Hoban was appointed as Pastoral Director. With the support of his wife, Annette, and a dedicated Advisory Group, they began shaping a community focused on faith, discipleship, and partnership with St Luke’s Catholic College.
In 2025, Fr Gayan Thamel was appointed as the first parish priest, marking a significant milestone in the life of the community. Under his leadership, St Luke’s continues to grow as a welcoming and supportive Parish community.
Masses were once held inside St Luke’s College, but with the dedication of our parish community and support from the Diocese of Parramatta and the NSW Government, our new parish building was made possible – opened and blessed on the Feast of St Luke in October 2025.
Masses and parish events are now held in our new, purpose-built St Luke’s Catholic Parish building, located at the corner of Frontier Avenue and Northbourne Drive. Convenient car parking is available via Frontier Avenue, Marsden Park.
We invite everyone seeking to grow in faith and belong to a welcoming community to join us.
We acknowledge that the Darug people were the original custodians of the land on which we operate. We pay our respects to elders past and present, and acknowledge the Aboriginal people for their custodianship of this land.

Take no part in the fruitless works of darkness; rather expose them, for it is shameful even to mention the things done by them in secret; but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that becomes visible is light.
