Immaculate Heart Catholic Church, Ipswich Catholic Community 22 Old Toowoomba Road, Leichhardt, Queensland 4305

Welcome to Immaculate Heart Catholic Church, located in Leichhardt, Old Toowoomba Road, 22. As part of the Ipswich Catholic Community, our church is a vibrant and welcoming place of worship for the Catholic faithful in the area.

Being a Catholic parish in the Archdiocese of Brisbane, we are proud to be served by two dedicated priests. Our Parish Priest is a Franciscan friar, bringing with him the rich heritage and history of the Franciscan religious order, which was founded over 800 years ago by St. Francis of Assisi. Our Associate Pastor is a Carmelite Priest, adding depth and diversity to our spiritual leadership.

At Immaculate Heart Catholic Church, we invite you to explore the core values of what it means to be a "Franciscan" in the 21st century. Our Parish Priest, Fr. Stephen, generously shares the charism of the Franciscan order through stories, prayers, and Feast Day celebrations. You can learn more about the inspiring lives of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Clare of Assisi, and other Franciscan Saints, and discover how their teachings can guide us in our daily lives.

To stay connected with our church community, make sure to add us to your safe sender list so that you never miss an email. We regularly send out updates, announcements, and spiritual resources to nourish your faith journey.

In addition, we have an important initiative to repair and restore St. Brigid's Church in Rosewood. Your generous donations towards this cause are greatly appreciated, and they are tax deductible. All donations are made through National Trust Queensland, and receipts are provided for your records. Thank you for considering supporting this vital work.

To make financial contributions to our parish, we have set up a Parish Giving Application in response to multiple requests. This application provides a safe and convenient way for parishioners and others to contribute. It is important to note that the app does not replace our Planned Giving Program but rather offers an additional option for those who prefer this method.

During these challenging times, our faith sustains us, and your support is more crucial than ever. Your contributions help our parishes continue their valuable pastoral activities and ensure ongoing sustainability. To assist you in supporting our parish during this time of isolation, we encourage you to download the Parish Giving App from one of the following locations.

Join us at Immaculate Heart Catholic Church as we come together in faith, fellowship, and service to God and our community. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing in the joy of our Catholic faith.
