Welcome Guests
Welcome to the online presence of the Catholic Parish of Forster Tuncurry, where you can find information about who we are and what we’re up to.
Situated to the north of Newcastle, NSW, the Parish sits astride the Great Lakes, and is part of the Catholic Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle.
The Parish acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which it is located, the Worimi people, and pays respect to their elders, past and present.
