Changes in the Pastoral Area – Message from the PPC
We are a vibrant parish who come together in various ways and various times over the year to celebrate our faith in our living and active God.
The purpose of the changes is to enable us to focus on and develop the liturgies of three specific Sunday Masses in order to include a wider group of participants, including families and youth, while continuing to meet the needs of our existing congregation.
