New Parish Centre Project Team
A new Parish Centre at St Joseph’s Church — expanded hospitality, modern offices, and improved accessibility for our growing parish community.
A New Parish Centre for St Joseph’s
To support the needs of a growing parish community, plans are underway for a new Parish Centre at St Joseph’s Church. The project aims to provide expanded hospitality space for parish gatherings, funerals, and events, as well as modern office and administration facilities for parish staff and clergy.
The proposed development includes increasing church seating capacity, improving heating and ventilation, enlarging the foyer and hospitality areas, and integrating a new administration centre under the same roof. The design will also improve accessibility by connecting the church and lower hall facilities with a lift and internal staircase.

The project is estimated to cost between $8 million and $10 million and will be funded through a combination of existing parish funds, the sale of surplus parish land, and community fundraising. It is anticipated that at least $5 million will need to be raised through fundraising efforts.
The New Parish Centre Project Group continues to meet regularly and actively pursue fundraising and development opportunities to help bring this important vision for the future of the parish to life.
