About Our Parish

Our History

The Church of the Resurrection in Table View, Cape Town, has grown alongside its community since its establishment in the late 1970s to serve the area’s increasing Catholic population. Mass was first celebrated in the parish hall until the church was built and dedicated to the Resurrection of Christ in 1987 by Archbishop Stephen Naidoo, and consecrated in 1996 by Archbishop Lawrence Henry, who placed a relic of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, the parish’s secondary patron, in the altar.

 

Over the years, the parish has expanded its facilities with classrooms and ministry spaces and has been guided by successive priests who have nurtured its spiritual growth and outreach. Actively involved in social justice initiatives and community programs, the Church of the Resurrection remains a vibrant center of Catholic life, offering worship, sacraments, and spiritual opportunities for parishioners of all ages.

Oblates of St. Francis De Sales

The Oblates of St. Francis De Sales are an international religious congregation of Catholic priests, brothers, and sisters founded by Blessed Louis Brisson, and Venerable Mother Mary de Sale Chappuis, in France in the 19th century. Their mission is “to continue the saving work of Christ” (Constitution 170) and “make an effective contribution to the salvific mission of the Church in the world” (Constitution 183). 

 

They do this through “Catholic education, missionary work and pastoral ministry” (Constitution 184) Coming to South Africa in 1882, the Oblates of St. Francis De Sales administered and staffed many Catholic schools and parishes with schools, evangelizing and educating thousands, especially youth and young adults.
