Simon Apablaza, Our priest, since July 2023. Born in 1981 in Santiago, Chile, Fr. Simon answered God\u2019s call, embarking on a journey that led him to the shores of Australia in 2002. Guided by God\u2019s grace, he was ordained as a priest on May 21, 2011, through the International Seminary Redemptoris Mater.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fr. Simon has faithfully served in various parishes, including Maroubra, Earlwood, and Caringbah, before venturing into the Australian bush, ministering in Broken Hill and Forbes for a significant period. Now, with a wealth of experience and a heart filled with joy, he has returned to Sydney and is delighted to be part of the vibrant Denistone parish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Join Fr. Simon on this spiritual journey as we come together to celebrate faith, community, and the boundless grace of God.
