25th Jubilee

St. Aidan's, Happy Valley

On the 1st July 1984 services began to be held in private homes. The area was part of the O'Halloran Hill Parish and by September of that year Fr. Gene Bennett had been appointed as Associate Priest of O'Halloran Hill with special responsibility for Aberfoyle Park and Happy Valley. On the 11th November services were held in the local High School and a house in Sunnymeade Drive had been purchased as a Rectory. In 1986 a new rectory was purchased in Outlook Drive and weekday services were held there and the Chapel was dedicated to St. Aidan. On the 13th August 1988 the new Church Centre and Rectory were dedicated by Bishop Porter and services commenced in the new Centre. The new Parish was finally created in April 1994 and it has been a separate Parish from O Halloran Hill since that time. Services are held each Sunday at 9.30 am and during the week on Tuesday nights and Wednesday mornings. Services are also conducted at a number of the local aged care facilities.
