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 and events are held at St Luke’s Catholic College, 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.
