All Are Welcome: Taking Your Children to Mass

One of the strengths of this parish has always been the welcome we offer to everyone who wants to come along and share in our services. We aim to make these both joyful and prayerful occasions. The Parish Pastoral Forum has produced this leaflet as a guide to families with children and young people to engage more fully in our Masses. This site has a useful article from Catholic parents about taking your child to Mass.

Parish Fundraising Activities: ways that YOU can help

We have met our target to pay for the boiler works. However, the fundraising doesn't stop there and we have now started fundraising for the church roof. Keep an eye on our Parish Development page for recent events.

Host a Roast and donate to the parish

We want to encourage families to get together with friends and neighbours, rediscover the joy of eating together, show we care and raise money for the parish at the same time! Download the form here.

Parish Rotas

Keep and Share is being used to store some of the parish group rotas online in an easily accessible format. Groups are asked to discuss using the site. The Toddlers Liturgy group has been using it successfully.
