We like to thank Guy Zangari Member for Fairfield for all his help and to all that came to sign the petition.

Share it!

Mr Guy Zangari, our local State Member of Parliament will be coming to our Parish to listen to our concerns on Sunday 6 May at 11:30 am. These concerns are in regard to the two Development Applications to build blocks of units in Weston Street. These blocks of units will have a total of 102 car parking spaces if they are built. As Weston Street is already congested such that near-misses have occurred whereby Primary School children could have been killed, if you want to share your concerns this Sunday, Mr Zangari is keen to listen to you in view of supporting our Parish in Parliament.

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF A PRIEST? Come along to tonights Unitas Young Adults group where we will be joined by Fr Josh who will be speaking about "THE ROLE OF PRIEST AS SHEPHERD"
The discussion will be held at Our Lady of The Rosary Parish, Fairfield from 7:30pm. All young adults from 18-35 are welcome!

Mr Guy Zangari, our local State Member of Parliament, is coming to our Parish for a photo-shoot TODAY (27 April 2018) at 2 pm to have a first-hand look at how the Parish will be effected by Development Applications to build two six-storey units on the already congested Weston Street. The more people who are in this photo the better. So, please come along. We need your support to ensure the safety of pedestrians, especially children.
