My name is Fr Francis Denton. I am a priest of the Archdiocese of Melbourne, ordained in 2015. Since my appointment as Parish Administrator in April 2020 it's been my pleasure to serve the parishes of Lilydale and Healesville. 

My highest aspiration as a pastor is to lead souls to a deeper knowledge and love of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The parish of St Patrick's is a community of deep faith rooted in a love of the Eucharist.  We are here to help serve you in whatever way we can.

If you have a query or comment, feel free to email the parish at: [email protected]

Or you may wish to contact me directly on: [email protected]

We hope to meet you soon!

Fr Francis Denton
