Volunteer Census

The Diocese is currently carrying out a volunteer census in our parish. This is to ensure we identify all our volunteers, to offer support and appropriate training and recognition for the important part all play in the life of our parish.” 

A volunteer is anyone who gives their time freely and regularly to assist anywhere within the Parish, School, or Diocese. 

During weekend of 12th/13th and 19th and 20th of October the census will be explained in more details after the weekend Masses. 

If you volunteer within the Parish/School/Diocese please complete one of the forms which will be available at the back of church or complete your details via the QR code. 

Volunteering is a grace from God…Volunteers are the strength of the Church.

Bishop Stephen's visit

We welcomed Bishop Stephen to our Parish this weekend. We thank him for his testimony at our Masses and look forward to welcoming him again in the future.
