Meet our Parish Priest
Fr. Mark Anderson
Dear Friends,
My name is Fr. Mark Anderson and I am the Parish Priest of St. Michael’s Lane Cove. Born and bred in Sydney, I was ordained in 2022 and appointed to St. Michael’s in January of 2025.
The Lord is doing wonderful things here in Lane Cove. As a Christ-centred parish whose desire is to love God and neighbour, our parish is very prayerful, warm and friendly. We have 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 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.
God love you,
Fr. Mark
Meet our Assistant Priest
Fr. Jorge Mairena
Hi everyone, I am Fr. Jorge from Costa Rica. I came to Australia in 2016. I was ordained in December 2025 and appointed to St. Michael's.
I see here at St. Michael's the hand of God, which fulfills the words of St. Paul when he says that "we hold this treasure in pots of earthenware, so that the immensity of the power is God's and not our own" (2 Cor 4:7).
Because serving you here through the Sacraments—whether in the new life of Baptism, Confirmation, the living liturgies of the Eucharist, the healing and conversion of Reconciliation, the comforting touch of the Anointing of the Sick, or officiating the sacrament of Matrimony—reminds me daily that this grace is a free, overflowing gift. We may often feel weak, afflicted, or simply human in our limits, yet in Christ we possess everything we need to walk this journey together and enrich one another.
Pura Vida!

Children’s Liturgy
A bit like Sunday-School, Children’s Liturgy is a half-hour class for children that runs during the Mass giving the children an activity, and Mum and Dad a short period of respite.
At the beginning of Mass, Father invites the children to follow the leader over to the parish hall where our Children’s Liturgy supervisors read to the children and lead them in a craft activity. When the class is over, the supervisors escort the children back to the church to rejoin their parents.
Children’s Liturgy runs throughout the school term at the 9:30am Sunday morning Mass.

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.
