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
