Star of the Sea Parish, South West Coast

Bishop Paul Bird CSsR decreed the uniting of the parish of Warrnambool East with the South West Coast Parish as at July 1, 2022.

The South West Coast Parish now includes the DOBCEL primary school Our Lady Help of Christians, Warrnambool East.

We are a community of communities from the Murray to the sea.
Inspired by the Gospel and nourished by the Eucharist, we follow the example of Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, reaching out in joyful and humble service, caring for all of God’s creation, growing in love day by day and looking forward to life with God forever.

Diocesan Vision Statement

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands in which the Diocese of Ballarat sits. We would like to pay our respects to Aboriginal Elders past, present and future. Their wisdom can help us care for the earth, our common home.
