From the time of Fathers Dempsey and Sugrue to the present Parish Priest, Father Michael Belonio, Mareeba has grown to become a parish of welcoming, hard-working people.
Many ethnic groups make up the members of the parish, where celebrations such as Italian Masses, the feast of Santo Nino and the Aboriginal Masses are a highlight of the parish year.
Many charitable groups operate within the parish, reaching out to people in need in all walks of life.
