Community Recognition Statement - Mary Mother of the Church Fortieth Anniversary

Mr ANOULACK CHANTHIVONG (Macquarie Fields) (13:29): I acknowledge and congratulate the Mary Mother of the Church Catholic parish at Macquarie Fields on celebrating 40 years of service to our community. From its early days as an outpost of the parish of Campbelltown, the Macquarie Fields parish has grown significantly to represent the diverse and vibrant community it serves. Mary Mother of the Church prides itself on its multicultural parish, where people come together united by faith, friendship and service to others. I make special mention of parish priest Father Linh Nguyen. The church community has thrived under his guidance. I congratulate him and the entire parish on this important milestone. I thoroughly enjoyed attending the celebrations at the Liverpool Catholic Club on Friday evening. I congratulate everyone involved at Mary Mother of the Church as they celebrate the momentous achievement of 40 years of service to the Macquarie Fields community.
