St Luke’s Catholic Parish, Marsden Park
Since 2018, the Catholic community of St Luke’s Marsden Park has been worshipping and celebrating Mass and special liturgical events in the St Luke’s Catholic College.
In March 2025, we received the exciting news that our development application had been approved by Blacktown City Council, allowing construction works to commence of Stage 1 of the Church Building Project.
This Project would not be possible without the support of the NSW Government and its Community Building Partnership, Blacktown Council, and the generosity of our parishioners, donors, the Diocese of Parramatta, St Luke’s Catholic College, and many other internal and external partners.
What is Stage 1?
Stage 1 is expected to be completed in August 2025. It includes the construction of the Parish Hall, Parish Office, and amenities. The Parish Hall will serve as the church space until a permanent church is built. This will be located on the vacant pocket of land in front of the school, on the corner of Frontier Ave and Northbourne Drive.
Entry will be via a designated parish driveway accessible off Frontier Drive.
The temporary church will be an open hall arrangement with a capacity of holding 200 people, complete with air conditioning and an abundance of natural light.
Adjoining the church will be the Parish Office, which includes a waiting room and reception area, meeting room, staff room and parish priest's office, storage area and amenities.
Stage 1 will be a single-story building with landscaping and a pathway linking it to St Luke’s Catholic College.
When will Stage 1 open?
Construction commenced in March 2025 with expected completion in August 2025.
Is there parking?
Yes, for weekend Masses, parishioners can use the school parking which will be vacant. During school times, parking is available on side streets.
What is Stage 2?
Stage 2 will involve the construction of a permanent church, with the Parish Centre situated at the current temporary church site. However, planning for Stage 2 has not yet begun.
