Family Groups

The Family Groups Movement is an international organisation, founded in 1973 by Father Peter McGrath CP in the parish of St. Anthony in the Fields, Terrey Hills, Sydney Australia. Since then, it has grown from those very humble beginnings to an important part of community life in over 400 parishes in six countries.

The aim of the Movement is to build Christian community through the development of extended families. With loneliness and isolation so prevalent in our society, there is a genuine need for people to know and support each other. Family Groups create an extended family atmosphere within the community and are open to everyone.

Our focus is on people caring for, loving and accepting each other just as they are and, in so doing, building up the Christian community. A Family Group is very human in the deepest sense of the word.

Family Groups are the building blocks of a caring, supportive parish life. There are three groups in Naremburn - the Ciaglia Group, the DiSanto Group and the Haynes Group; there are also three groups in Northbridge - the Bartels Group, the Bennett Group and the Vella Group.

Groups meet regularly. Here is the current schedule of meetings:
