WELCOME
We the Parish Community of Sacred Heart, Camberwell celebrate the presence of Christ in our lives. Central and true to our name, we celebrate, we stand and we dedicate our lives, witnessing to the unfailing love and friendship of God, through His beloved son whose heart of love we find daily strength for our journey.​We are a catholic community, diverse and multicultural. Everyone has a voice and everyone is welcome. We strive to make visible, God’s love and care for the world in word, Sacrament, and Service to all. Nourished by the Sacraments and our diversity, we strive to create a supportive parish family that fosters communication. We use our talents as responsible stewards, accountable to God, to our neighbours, to our community and to the world at large.
The Season of Advent
What Is the Meaning of Advent?
Within the Catholic faith, the season of Advent holds profound meaning. It serves a twofold purpose:
-
Preparation for the Birth of Christ: Advent is a time to prepare our hearts and minds to celebrate the arrival of Jesus. We reflect on the Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament, their fulfilment in Jesus our hope (1 Tim. 1:1), and thus the mission of salvation he’s given to us as members of the one Church he founded.​
-
A Call to Conversion: It’s also a season of introspection and renewal. The liturgical colour purple reminds us of our imperfections and the need for repentance. By acknowledging our shortcomings, we open ourselves to God’s grace and prepare ourselves to receive the gift of Christ. Also, penance—such as through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving—helps us quiet and discipline our hearts for the joy of Christmas (see Catechism 1434). In that light, without an Advent fast it’s harder to prepare for a Christmas.
In essence, this season is a bridge between the past, present, and future. It allows us to look back on the hope for the Savior of the World, experience anew the joy of his arrival and also his reign in the present through his Church, and to prepare ourselves for his glorious return at his Second Coming.

Considering Becoming a Catholic?
The Catholic Church welcomes you to explore faith through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). RCIA is a journey of prayer, learning, and community where you’ll discover the richness of Scripture and Tradition, deepen your relationship with Christ, and connect with others walking the same path.
​
You don’t need all the answers to begin—just an open heart and a willingness to take the next step. RCIA is your opportunity to respond to God’s call and embrace the fullness of life in the Catholic Church.
