An atmosphere of HOPE & EXCITEMENT!
One of Bayside Catholic Mission's parish in Gardenvale, St. James, recently acquired the exterior crosses which will be installed this month. Not long now until we get to see a beautiful infrastructure rise from the ashes. July 13th 2021 was marked as a historic and exciting day for the community of Saint James & Bayside Mission as parishioners, staff members, and clergy gathered for the blessing of the cross. The Bayside Catholic Mission want to give a special thanks to SIDA Constructions Pty Ltd for overseeing this reconstruction process and for making this event possible for everyone within our faithful community. Check out the link below for yesterday's highlights.

FR. DAVID CARTWRIGHT
I was ordained in the year 2000 and have served in the parishes of Glenroy, St Patrick’s Cathedral, St Francis, MIll Park and until 5 August was Parish Priest of St Fidelis, Moreland. I have also served as Youth Chaplain for the Archdiocese, Prefect of Ceremonies and am currently also Director of Vocations until 4 November this year. I also serve on the Archbishop’s Personnel Advisory Board and have held a number of other positions over the past twenty years. I was born in Melbourne, and am a proud North Melbourne supporter. Probably a rare breed in this part of Melbourne
FR. DEAN MATHIESON
I grew up in Melbourne, around the bayside area. I was ordained in 2013. Until last year I was part of the Capuchin Franciscan Order. Since then I have been at St Gerard's, Dandenong North. Prior to that I was Parish Priest at Sts Peter and Paul's, South Melbourne. Over the years I have served in parishes in Sydney and Brisbane. I'm currently a member of the Council of Priests for the Archdiocese.

assistant priest
I grew up close by to Bayside in the suburb of Bentleigh. After finishing my studies for the priesthood I was ordained in 2020, having served in the West Preston Parish as a deacon. I love playing sport when I can, especially baseball and I’m also a bit of a movie buff. Superheroes, especially Captain America, may occasionally make a cameo appearance in conversation!
