Wodonga

In the Diocese of Sandhurst, Victoria, the Syro-Malabar community has established vibrant missions in Bendigo, Shepparton, and Wodonga. In Wodonga, the community gathers for Mass at Sacred Heart Church, located at 283 Beechworth Road. This mission, known as St. Mary’s Syro-Malabar Mission, is ministered by Fr. Siby Sebastian MCBS, who travels from Wagga Wagga to celebrate Mass with the faithful on 2nd and 4th Saturdays at 7PM. The establishment of this mission has been made possible through the cooperation of Diocese of Sandhurst, which provide Sacred Heart Church, located at 283 Beechworth Road and facilities for use by the Syro-Malabar faithful. This collaborative effort has allowed the community to preserve their rich liturgical traditions and cultural heritage while integrating into the broader Catholic community in the region.
