St Maroun's, Brisbane Redevelopment

I definitely support the redevelopment of St Maroun’s Church as it is very much needed!

The church is too small for our parish and needs more parking.

I support

Lets do it

this will add to the neighborhood!

May I have the grace of seeing it completed. It will be a jewel for Queensland. Inshallah

we need a bigger church for our community.

This development will be of great value to Lebanese Christian community.

Please let this redevelopment go ahead And make the Community and Parishioners more comfortable and expand the church for new families to attend.

You need to save this church it is so significant in many peoples lives!

Thank you. God bless xxx

It is support to all the people not just for us

This is a great opportunity for the local community and much needed for the parishioners of St Maroun’s church.

I support the redevelopment of the St Maroun’s Church in Greenslopes as proposed. The existing church premises including the 4 homes that are currently situated on the land are in a state of disrepair and it will be a major improvement for the local neighbourhood to see these dwellings rejuvenated. The design of the church and church hall will in no doubt become a local landmark for the Greenslopes community. This is a community nucleus that will assist and help the area particular now more than ever in this time of need. The improved use of greenspace is a significant improvement to the existing situation.

For over 30 years St Maroun’s has served as a pastoral services to Maronite, Roman and Latin Catholic’s, Lebanese, Syrian, Iraqi, Ethiopian, Filipinos, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean Christians etc. The Parish of St Maroun’s serves all the communities noted above; and the proposed redevelopment will not change the demographic of parishioners nor the community it serves, past, present, future. Furthermore the redevelopment will provide suitable facilities for the Parish Priest to continue to provide counseling and advice to those in need i.e. Mental Health, Depression, Family Issues and Moral issues particularly for the many refugees who have openly been welcomed into our parish albeit still traumatized by past events and require regular counseling.

and I am very glad she has notified me to, as the st Maroun’s community needs our support for redevelopment

Great for the community

Development is necessary to accommodate growing population.

St Maroun’s Maronite Catholic Church has a vibrant community including mainly Lebanese Maronite as well as worshippers from other cultures. St Maroun’s community has outgrown the premises. The new church will be able to seat all attendees as opposed to having many worshippers standing outside because the church is full. The new modern building will beautify the street and the new carpark will allow for less cars to be parked on the surrounding streets. Looking forward to celebrating mass in the new church.

A redevelopment for the Church is much needed and would greatly benefit the community.
