History of the Parish
How to get here

Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to choose some of their own men and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas, two men who were leaders among the brothers. (Acts. 2:42)

Pastoral Council

Introduction

All parishioners are welcome to attend Parish Council meetings; they are advertised in Words.  Many of the people who come also participate in other Parish organizations, so we usually have reports from a variety of groups, such as Catechetics, the Knights, Infrastructure, etc., depending on what is going on. We also act as a liaison and planning forum.

This is a good place to come if you have any ideas to present to the Parish, or you think something should be discussed, or just want to hear what is going on. In particular, try to come to the Parish AGM, held in October every year. This is when each group in the Parish produces a brief annual report. Minutes of meetings are always displayed in the centre and are also on the web site.

The Parish Council meets at 19.30 on the second Tuesday of the month, from September to June.
