Welcome to Aspley Catholic Parish

Thee Parish of Our Lady and St Dympna, of the Catholic Diocese of Brisbane Australia, is situated at 479 Robinson Road, Aspley. We are part of the North East Deanery comprising Aspley, Bald Hills/ Bracken Ridge, Sandgate/Brighton, Geebung, Zillmere, Clayfield, Hendra and Nundah/Banyo parishes.

The Zillmere/Aspley parish was established in 1928, when Fr John O'Callaghan was appointed foundation Parish Priest. At this time the Parish was known as the Zillmere Parish and covered 100 square miles and included Zillmere, Albany Creek, Aspley, Geebung, Bald Hills, Petrie, Strathpine and Dayboro. It soon became apparent that a church should be built either in Geebung or Zillmere but the parishioners all wanted the church built in their own area. The parish was settled in Aspley by Fr. John as it lay half way between Geebung and Zillmere.

The name St Dympna was chosen for three reasons – 1. Work began on building the church on her feast day in May, 2. Father John’s sister was a nun called Sister Dympna, 3. St Dympna was an Irish Saint who lived in the 7th century. The foundation stone of the church was laid on 25th June 1933. St Dympna's School was later established in 1963 by the Sisters of St. Joseph.

 Parish Prayer
Heavenly Father, you have given us a  model of  life in the Holy Family of Nazareth. Help us to make our Parish a place of  welcome where all may experience love, peace and joy.  May we grow in  times  of joy and adversity through prayer, leading to greater unity and  strength.   Teach us to see Jesus in the members of our Parish family.  Help us  to act with integrity in the image and likeness of Your Son.  May we love one  another as You have loved each one of us, and forgive each other's faults as you  forgive ours.  Help us to accept whatever you give and surrender whatever  you  take.  We ask this through Christ our Lord Amen.
Our Lady and St Dympna, Pray for us.
