New Website
The new web site for St Benedict’s has been switched over today. It features a new design, new software on the back end making it all work, and a new powerful server.
If you find any problems please let us know (see the contacts page for contact details). I’ve already received suggestions on making the heading more colourful and to change the image on the home page – this will be actioned soon.
The website is very easy to use. The colours are ok.
I was wondering if the Sunday’s newsletter could be published in the website.
(Btw Has Fr. Neil left or will he be visiting now and then?)
Our first comment! Thanks for the feedback. There’s still a bit of work to do with the header, adding a bit of (colourful) graphics to it. And I agree with publishing the newsletter here – I’ll get things started.
Mr Michael de Stoop is the new parish priest, Fr Neil will still be around.
Hello! took us a while to find the website, have you optimised the website yet?
I thought it was very important for St Benedict’s to have website considering the situation with
Parish and changing times.
My great grandfather and mother lived in Wilson St and before that my great great grandfather in
Ivy St not far from block when they died they were one local residents transported at old
station for burials on Regent St to go to Rookwood where their grave is still today!
St Benedict’s is very historic Catholic Church and Parish and the christian spirit from old times is still there in West Chippo and near church.
I attended church in early 1990s by chance as I was living Dee Why but my soul is still in
western suburbs and pay tribute to Fr Terence Purcell for his defence of Catholic Church and its morals in media itself which he often brought up with sermon on Sunday!Of course Mark Blackman ably supported his pastor until his final passing!
As well as its Benedictine history Cardinal Gilroy originated from parish to become primate in Australia at an important time in churches changing history!
I suggest best thing Fr De Stoop could do is create “Friends Family of St Benedicts”
to take church into future for upcoming generations!
