Our parish is blessed with many people who contribute to the life of our faith community by sharing their skills, time and effort, but more are always welcome - many hands make light work!
We all have skills, talents, interests and time that we can offer. Below are some of the ways that people already contrbute to our parish life - can you help with these? Have a word with the parish priest, deacon or any member of the Parish Pastoral Council and they’ll be happy to discuss how you might become involved (no pressure and no obligation!)
If you feel there is something missing from our community, or an activity which could be developed further, please speak to anyone on the Parish Pastoral Council.
