2024's finance report
Financial transparency is crucial if every member of the parish is to take personal responsibility for the financial requirements of being a Church that has moved beyond simply maintaining itself to being a Church concerned with mission.
Your giving funds roofs, to sausages, to photocopying; but these tools enable so much more to happen.
Worship happens under that roof, the marginalised eat those sausages, and those seeking Jesus' good news read those photocopies. In short, lives are changed!

GREETINGS FROM THE PARISH PRIEST

Peace be with you!
New to the area or lived around here for ages? Either way you are welcome!
Our vision is to be a parish where we follow Jesus, who are on fire with his love, share his love with each other and the world.
Many of us can relate to this vision, but we can always be more.
Through our parish I hope you can take your next step in following Jesus. Every week there are plenty of things going on to help you deepen in relationship with God, and to then put your faith into action.
This website lists everything that goes on in the parish, and you are invited to it all.
Fr David Benedict Osborne
