The Catholic Parish of Epping and Carlingford is a Roman Catholic parish located in the suburbs of Epping and Carlingford in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The parish is in the Diocese of Broken Bay. The parish has two separate and distinct communities, based around the two chuches: Our Lady Help of Christians (OLHC) Catholic Church at Epping, and St. Gerard Majella Catholic Church at Carlingford.
It separated from the nearby "Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic Church" parish at Epping on 3 March 1963, however it shares a priest, staff and youth group with that parish. Today, it is likely the two parishes will again be combined (see Parishes: One or two)
The St. Gerard Majella Catholic Primary School was opened by the Sisters of Mercy in September, 1964.
A new Church building was completed in 1972 and Father Nolan continued as Parish Priest until his retirement in 1978. Father Finian Egan, V.F., was then appointed in his place.
The current Parish Priest is Father Colin Blayney BSc(Hons), BTh. Father Colin became Parish Priest in early 2001, after Father Egan retired.
