Parish History

Our Parish

Holy Trinity Catholic Parish (Laverton Parish) is the third largest in the Archdiocese of Melbourne, incorporating the communities of Laverton, Altona Meadows and Point Cook. The Parish has five Primary Schools; St. Martin de Porres, Queen of Peace, Lumen Christi, Stella Maris and St. Mary of the Cross.

In 1969, the Parish of Laverton was founded. The construction of the St. Martin de Porres War Memorial Church/Hall began for the celebration of weekly Masses.

The Parish continued to grow with the establishment of the Queen of Peace Church that was built in 1992, prior to that, mass was celebrated weekly in Queen of Peace School.

With the development of Point Cook, mass had been celebrated at the RAAF Chapel, Point Cook from 2001. As from 2016, mass for the Point Cook community has been celebrated at local primary school Stella Maris. It is hoped that a church will eventually be built in Point Cook in the near future.

On the 24th of November 2019 the parish officially adopted the name Holy Trinity Catholic Parish - incorporating the communities of St. Martin de Porres, Queen of Peace, Lumen Christi, Stella Maris and St. Mary of the Cross. The name was chosen by the Parish Community to signify the three communities that make up our Parish; Laverton, Altona Meadows and Point Cook.

Like the Holy Trinity the three are one. As the community we stand under the banner of the Holy Trinity Catholic Parish.
