Merging of parishes
Bishop Mark Freeman decreed that the parishes of Hampden, Timboon and Camperdown become the Our Lady of Mercy and Peace, Heartland Parish of Craters, Mountains, Lakes, and Plains. This took effect on July 1, 2026.
Welcome to the Parish
Our Parish Community strives to be welcoming, affirming and open to each other and to all who come to be part of our faith community. We value the presence of each person, and draw strength and inspiration from our worship and life together so that we can witness to God’s love in our local community and beyond. We welcome the gifts with which God has endowed each person, as well as those gifts developed through life’s experiences.
We thank all those people who already contribute to the life of our Parish in so many ways and look forward to their continued support.
