New year equals new parish
Natasha Percy | 26 November 2007
A new era dawns for the parishes of Ashfield and Five Dock/Haberfield, as they amalgamate on January 1.
Rector of St John’s, Ashfield the Rev Andrew Katay will lead the new parish, with Five Dock/Haberfield rector, the Rev Hugh Isaacs as senior assistant minister.
The strategy is to plant a congregation each year for the next six years, so that by 2013 both churches can cater for a fuller range of demographics. The parish also has the goal of growing by 25 people per congregation per year.
“Because of our sizeable property income, we can staff and resource multiple congregations, and have lots of little saplings growing at the same time,” Mr Katay says.
