Our faith community can be nourished by active participation in parish groups that meet for prayer, social action, Sacramental preparation, youth work and the support of others in the life the Church. To share our lives in these ways allows us to offer ourselves and draw strength from each other.
There are many other activities that take place in the parish. Perhaps you would be interested in one or more of these that we have to offer?
Parish Renewal Group
The Renewal Leadership Team coordinate the work in the parish that seeks to bring about a renewal drawing on the principles set out in the book, ‘Divine Renovation’ by Fr James Mallon.
That is the best of leadership: primacy of evangelisation and reliance on the power of the Holy Spirit.
A guiding vision has been developed for the parish and fruits to date include family catechesis, running an ‘alpha’ course, youth ‘alpha’, prayer ministry and prayer partners at Masses as well as prayer walks in the parish.
If you wish to be part of this in any way, please contact the team through Fr Graham.
