Our Priests

Fr Allan Casquejo

I was born in Philippines. Studied and trained in the Redemptoris Mater Seminary following the Neocatechumenal Way. I was ordained to the Priesthood on 4th August 2012 at St Mary’s Cathedral, the Archdiocese of Sydney.

My first appointment was as Assistant Priest at Our Lady Of Annunciation Parish, Pagewood and Holy Family Parish, Maroubra. After serving for some years in the Parishes, I was sent as a Missionary Priest to the Archdiocese of Rabaul, Papua New Guinea and as Parish Priest at St Francis Xavier Co-Cathedral from December 2015 to 2020. However, due to the Visa requirement in 2016, I was appointed as Assistant Priest at St Declan, Penshurst and Our Lady of Fatima, Peakhurst.

I returned to Sydney in July 2020 and was assigned as Assistant Priest at St Patrick Church, Kogarah, until my appointment here as Parish Priest of Holy Family Parish, Maroubra on 15th January 2021.

May God bless you all, Fr Allan
