Oblates of the Sacred Heart (OSH) - Appeal 2026

Dear Parishioners,

Each year, the OSH Fathers are permitted to take two special collections to support the missionary work of our Society. This year, mindful of the financial pressures many families are facing, we have decided to have only one appeal instead of two.

The proceeds of the OSH Appeal 2026 will support the vital work of our OSH Social Service Society, especially helping poor children continue their education by providing school supplies, books, and other essential learning materials.

We, your OSH priests, are deeply grateful for your generous support over the years. Your kindness has made a real difference in the lives of many children and families. Please support this year’s appeal in whatever way you are able.

This Appeal was held on the weekends of 29/30 August and 5/6 September.

Some appeal envelopes are still available in the pews. You may take an envelope home and return it when you next come to church. You can also donate using the QR Code provided on the envelope.

"Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord." (Proverbs 19:17)

Thank you for your generosity and prayers.
May God bless you abundantly.
Fr. Satheesh OSH, Fr. Boby OSH & Fr. Shiju OSH

Dear Parish Family,   Thank you so much for your incredible generosity and ongoing support! Because of you, our parish continues to thrive and serve the community. As you know, this vibrancy relies on your generosity for which there are now many different ways of giving using modern technology. In recent times we have introduced Tap’n’go machines in our churches. We have now added a new, easy, and secure way to make a contribution to support our parish—through a simple scan of a QR code. This small code allows you to give a single gift directly from your phone at any time, wherever you may be. All you need to do is open your camera, scan the code and you'll be taken directly to our secure giving page. It’s fast, easy, and helps the parish to continue the great work we’re doing together. Of course, like Tap’n’go, contributions by QR code are a once only gift. If you would like your donation to be regular and automatic, please join our Planned Giving program which is easily arranged ...

⚠️ Important Security Notice: Beware of Phishing Scams

Dear Parishioners, Please be aware of a scam currently targeting parishes. Scammers are creating fake Gmail and other free email accounts using the names of our Parish Priest and parish staff. They use these accounts to send messages asking people to make urgent payments or buy gift cards on their behalf, often giving a plausible reason for the request. Because the display name shows a familiar name, it can look genuine at first glance. However, if you examine the actual email address, you will find that it does not come from our official parish domain: ffcp.org.au . Please Keep This in Mind: ·          Verify Before You Act: If you receive an email, text, or message of any form asking for money, gift cards, or financial details, do not respond or make any payments . ·          Double-Check: Always contact the parish office directly, or speak to the person you think it is from via a known, trus...
