Please feel free to browse our pages and learn more about our church and community. You will find information about our many ministries, activities and support groups, as well as Mass schedules, sacramental programmes, events and everything from the history of our church to what we're doing now. Why not start by downloading our weekly newsletter for more details. If you live locally, then why not come and visit us in person - to worship and perhaps even to become a member yourself. If you are looking for a church to call home, we welcome you to join our family here!

Parish Questionnaire:
With the First Sunday of Advent we begin a new Church year. It seems timely to ask each of you what parish projects you would like to see in 2020 and to ask your help in bringing them to fruition. A questionnaire was handed to parishioners at both Masses this weekend but if you didn't receive one you can download it here and return to the Parish Office.
