St Gabriel's Catholic Parish Reservoir

Welcome

Welcome to our parish! Thanks for hitting our website!!

In 2011 we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the parish.

Over these years we have grown from a rural setting to an easily accessible suburb to the centre of the city of Melbourne (25 minutes by direct train). Our first settlers, Australian born newly married couples, have been joined by Italian post war settlers, then they in their turn by others from elsewhere in Europe, the Vietnamese, by people from the Philippines, from the subcontinent of India, and most recently from the Congo and Sudan in Africa.

We witness, as do many of our parishes in Melbourne and elsewhere, to the universality of the Church. And this we celebrate.

Please enjoy this website and we welcome your contact.

Fr Shane Hoctor, Parish Priest
