Ballajura parishioners are this month being called to come together in celebration of the 35th anniversary of the parish, and 25th anniversary of the opening of the Church of Mary MacKillop.

Born in Saigon, Vietnam, Fr Dat is the youngest of four siblings. Arriving in Perth in the mid-80s, the young Dat Vuong grew up in Morley.

Opened 30 March 1974 by then Archbishop Launcelot Goody, the former church of St Francis of Assisi Maida Val Parish was no longer large enough to accommodate all the parishioners.

Speaking about the 50th anniversary of Greenwood’s All Saints Church, Parish Priest Fr Elver Delicano said one undeniable truth remains – the divine grace that sustains us.

“It is God’s grace that has nurtured our faith, brought healing to the broken, and ignited a passion for service within us,” Fr Elver said.

Banksia Grove parishioners have recently celebrated the first anniversary of the opening of St John Paul II Church with the blessing and opening of a new presbytery, several statues and a rose garden.

Embleton Parish Historian Jackie Marrapodi explained to The Record that the parish came into being on 1 March 1964, in an area which had been part of the Parishes of Bayswater, Bedford and Morley.
