Who we are

St. Mary Magdalene is a Catholic community situated on the corner of Merrydale Avenue and Sunflower Road in Lentegeur (opposite Lentegeur Civic Centre), Mitchell`s Plain, Cape Town, South Africa.

It is one of the largest Catholic parishes in the Archdiocese of Cape Town and has approximately about 1500 families. It is a growing community, with a lot of young couples and familes moving into the parish. As a parish we celebrate the sacrament of Baptism every last Saturday of the month at the 18h00 Mass and we avarage fourteen baptisms a month. The parish has various societies such as the Saint Vincent de Paul, Exploring Scripture Together,Youth, The Legion of Mary, Choir, Charismatic Prayer Group, Altar Servers, Senior Citizens Club, Extra-ordinary Ministers of Holy Co11:55 16/05/2007mmunion, Lectors, Fundraising Committee, Liturgcal Dancers, Ministers of Hospitality and Parenting Skills Facilitators which endeavours to serve the various needs of its parishioners which are spread out in thirteen areas of Mitchells Plain.

As a parish we are also very proud of our Catechetical programme, in that we follow the RCIA from the foundational phases of Catechetics to the Adults. Our Catechetical programme follows the Church's liturgical calender and begins in the season of Advent until the Solemnity of Christ the Universal King.

St. Mary Magdalene opened its doors in 1981 and last year celebrated its 25th Anniversary with a variety of functions and liturgical celebrations that lasted the whole of last year.

For the majority of its 25 year history, it was served by the Salesian priests. Previous Parish priests included Fathers Donaghy, O'Neill, Walsh, Power, McMahon, Boyle and Butler. Father Rohan is its first Diocesan priest. As of 1 February 2007, the Archbishop appointed Father Gavin Butler as the assistant priest in the parish. As a parish we have also been privileged to have the presence of the Holy Cross Sisters. Currently Srs Alma and Ursula live and work in the parish community.

The church has also recongnised its social responsibility in the light of the many problems in the area and have engaged in many programs such as the Caring group and parenting skills to help the local community in upliftment programs.

We can indeed be proud of what we have achieved during this time of grace and we pray for God's continued presence in all that we endeavour in the future. Our hopes for the future include renovating the Parish Church to accomodate the large number of parishioners, build a presbytery for the parish clergy, build a garden of remembrance and build a catechetical centre for the needs of the community and to increasing the parking facilities.

St Mary Magdalene Historical Photos

The power of Christian prayer Help me to avoid every sin
Thanks to Thee, O God, that I have risen today, To the rising of this life itself; may it be to Thine own glory, O God of every gift, and to the glory, aid Thou my soul. With the aiding of Thine own mercy, even as I clothe my body with wool, cover Thou my soul with the shadow of Thy wing. Help me to avoid every sin, and the source of every sin to forsake, and as the mist scatters on the crest of the hills, may each ill haze clear from my soul, O God.
