About the Parish

Whether you are a long-standing parishioner, new to the area, returning to the faith, or simply seeking to learn more, you are warmly welcomed into the life of the Kraaifontein Catholic Parish.

We invite you to join us in worship, prayer, and service as we continue to grow together as the Body of Christ.

Kraaifontein Catholic Parish

The Kraaifontein Catholic Parish is a single parish made up of three worshipping communities: St Anthony of Padua, St Owen’s, and St Elizabeth’s.

Though we gather in different places, we are united as one parish family in faith, worship, and service, committed to living the Gospel in our local communities.

Our Mission

Rooted in the Catholic faith and guided by the teachings of the Church, our parish exists to:

  • Worship God faithfully through the celebration of the Sacraments
  • Proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ
  • Form disciples through prayer, teaching, and community life
  • Serve one another and reach out in love to those in need

We seek to be a welcoming parish where people of all ages can grow in faith and deepen their relationship with Christ.

One Parish, Three Communities

Each of our churches serves a distinct area within Kraaifontein, while remaining fully part of the one parish:

  • St Anthony of Padua serves as the parish church and administrative centre, hosting weekday Masses, parish ministries, and activities.
  • St Owen’s serves the Scottsdene community, offering regular Masses, catechism classes, and parish gatherings.
  • St Elizabeth’s serves the Wallacedene community, providing a place of worship, fellowship, and pastoral care.

Together, these communities reflect the richness and diversity of parish life, united by a shared faith and common mission.

Parish Life

Life in the parish extends beyond Sunday Mass. We are enriched by:

  • Catechism and faith formation for children and youth
  • RCIA for adults exploring or entering the Catholic faith
  • Music and liturgical ministries
  • Parish groups, outreach, and charitable works
  • Pilgrimages, workshops, and special celebrations

All parishioners are encouraged to participate actively and to share their gifts in service of the Church.
