St Mary's Star of the Sea Cathedral — Attraction in Darwin City

My home for the last 3 weeks. I attended the 7pm mass and every week was different—it was interesting to have bishops presiding! As a visiting military person on deployment, Bishop Eugene gave me his blessing and told me this was my home while I was away (having been an Army Chaplain himself), that was a powerful message and definitely one that I needed.

The first mass I attended, I got introduced to the Aboriginal Our Father and it was different but another beautiful form of the same prayer. I didn't hear it the 2nd and 3rd time, so it has become a treasured memory.

At the end of mass, they ask the church goers to help close the doors—there are over 50! It reminds me of the churches in the Philippines, open on all sides for people to come in from all directions.

If you're looking for a church in Darwin, this one will be your home while away from yours, just as it had been for me.
