Catholic Communities in Sydney!

… bei den Deutschsprachigen Katholischen Kirchengemeinden in Sydney. Schön, dass Sie uns gefunden haben, vielleicht absichtlich oder durch Zufall. Seit 60 Jahren sind wir Heimat für deutschsprachige Auswanderer, Expats, Freunde und auch Durchreisende. Wir sind zwei Kirchengemeinden im Großraum Sydney, in denen wir miteinander unseren katholischen Glauben feiern, unsere Kultur leben und die Heimattraditionen pflegen. Wir laden Sie ein, sich auf unserer Homepage umzuschauen und auch uns einmal in echt zu besuchen. Schauen Sie sich also ruhig um.

Great that you have found us whether on purpose or by accident. For 60 years now we are home for German speaking migrants, expats, friends and travellers.
