Greetings and Welcome to our Parish website

St. Joseph’s Catholic Parish strives to be a community of the Lord’s disciples in the Nambour, Kenilworth, Palmwoods, Yandina and Bli Bli areas of the Sunshine Coast.  Ours is an energetic community which provides varieties of opportunities for ministry within the Church for the building up of the Body of Christ. In this way we hope to equip ourselves and our Church to proclaim the reign of God in our world.

We welcome you to connect with our Parish communities and especially in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist at either St Joseph Nambour, St John Bosco Kenilworth or at Palmwoods.  ​We invite you to register on the Parish Census by completing our Parish Census form (via the button below).  Should you require additional information that is not covered by this website, please don't hesitate to contact our Parish office.  

Peace and blessing upon you and your family,
​
Fr Odinaka Nwadike
Parish Priest

ST JOSEPH’S FEAST DAY—PRAYER TO ST JOSEPH
O glorious St. Joseph, you who have power to render possible, things that are, for us impossible, come to our aid in our present trouble and distress. Take this important and difficult affair under your particular protection that it may end happily. O dear St. Joseph, all our confidence is in you. Let it not be said that we would invoke you in vain and since you are so powerful with Jesus and Mary, show that your goodness equals your power. Amen.

ST JOSEPH’S MEN’S GROUP
Thanks to all who attended our first gathering for the men's group, and what a lovely social night it was.  Join us again on last Fridays of every month. Our next gathering is on Friday, March 31, starting at 6pm, at the parish hospitality area. We look forward to seeing you.   Fr Odinaka

From Tony 
A big thank you to Father Odinaka for his sponsoring of the first meeting of the Men’s group.  It was greeted with a wonderful sense of engagement and a strong wish to progress forward as all were happy to see where this may lead.

Evidently some wives were pro- active in encouraging their respective husbands to attend. Gentlemen, you must be doing something right.  

All jokes aside, it would suggest that such a group is needed & all it costs is our attendance.  May we look forward to a bright future.
​TRIUMPH LENTEN PROGRAM 
All are welcome Tuesday mornings 10am - 11:30am in the  Community Centre for the Lenten Study Group.  Facilitator, Lorée Rudd. If you would like to join  please contact the Parish office on 5441 1034 or email stjoe.nambour@bne.catholic.net.au
