“Churches like this are more than buildings, they are the heart of the community. A place where families gather, celebrate their faith, and pass on traditions to the next generation,” Mr Marsh said.

“People deserve to feel safe when they come together, especially at important moments like Easter.

“After speaking with community leaders and [parish priest] Father Irinaios, it’s clear how important it is that people can come together here with confidence and security.”

The funding will support practical upgrades to security infrastructure, helping protect the church and its
community.

“A Jess Wilson Liberal Government will back local communities and deliver the support they need,” he said.
