HomeSt. John Vianney is a Catholic parish located in Manly, Queensland. The parish traces its roots back to the 1920s, when Archbishop Duhig purchased properties to establish local Mass services, with a pivotal moment occurring in 1927 when Fr. Joseph Butler became the first administrator. He initiated the St. John Vianney Mutual Aid Society to support impoverished families and established a jam and pickles factory to provide work for the unemployed. Today, St. John Vianney's mission reflects its namesake, emphasizing the presence of Christ in the Word, the Eucharist, and the marginalized, calling the community to express this through prayer and charity.
