Sydney Synod 2026
His Grace, Archbishop Anthony Fisher, has convoked a diocesan Synod for Sydney between the 30 April to 3 May 2026 to address the Holy Spirit-inspired longings communicated by the People of God in Sydney after many years of consultation, Archbishop’s convocation letter.
The Archbishop is seeking positive, practical and faithful ideas on how we can make our Church in Sydney more vibrant through three, repeated longings for more prayerful liturgies, more Christ-centred communities, and to be more mission-oriented.
Please get involved by discussing these longings within your communities and then, by bringing your ideas on how these longings can be met to our regional consultations. Find out more and register for consultations by clicking the button below.
Join us as we pray, discern and act with the Holy Spirit to make our Church in Sydney more vibrant. Give us your ideas!
Meet our Priest
Welcome! My name is Fr. Mark Anderson and I am the priest here at St. Michael’s Lane Cove. Born and bred in Sydney, I was ordained a priest in 2022 and in January of 2025 was appointed to St. Michael’s.
The Lord is doing wonderful things here in Lane Cove. We are a Christ-centred parish whose desire is to love God and our neighbour, living lives as His disciples for the salvation of souls. Our parish is very prayerful, warm, and friendly. We are very active with lots of groups, events, and outreach, and enjoy the company of many families.
Please know that whenever you enter a Catholic Church you are always amongst friends and you are always welcome in our parish. If you are perhaps from a different faith tradition and are exploring the Catholic faith, we are here to help you and we want your experience to be rich and rewarding. And so, we hope to see you soon and look forward to meeting you.
Congratulations!
Cailín Geraghty
“He leads us on a path that is far greater than any life plan we could have ever envisaged for ourselves.”
Cailín Geraghty (pronounced Colleen) recently announced that after much prayer, she believes that our Lord Jesus may be calling her to religious life with the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia. To explore this vocation further, Cailín has been accepted by the sisters to enter the convent located in Nashville Tennessee for a period of formation as she further discerns her vocation.
While Solemn Vows (when Cailín would officially become a religious sister) are still years away, being accepted into the convent is a very significant step in Cailín’s life and a strong indicator of a genuine vocation.
We are so thankful to the great and merciful Jesus for Cailín and her heroic ‘YES’ to God. We are grateful for her beautiful family who have nurtured and encouraged the faith in Cailín’s life; and we are excited for what the future holds for Cailín and our parish.

What is Eucharistic Adoration?
Eucharistic Adoration is the practice of prayer and the worship of our Lord Jesus who in a mysterious way is truly present in the Eucharist.
In a miracle which has fascinated mankind for two-thousand years, when a priest prays the words of consecration during the Mass, bread and wine miraculously change into the Body and Blood of Christ—while maintaining the appearance of bread and wine.
The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist is something that ‘cannot be apprehended by the senses…but only by faith,’ writes St. Thomas Aquinas.
During the stillness and silence of Eucharistic Adoration, intense rays of divine love radiate from our Blessed Saviour and penetrate the souls of those present.
