Parish Mission Statement

Our Parish seeks to live as a family – supporting one another, open to all comers, building a community where each person feels wanted and cared for. To make this happen, we will work to grow in holiness through prayer and service and we will try to show God’s love in our daily lives.

Living Well with Dementia

My name is Mary Spain and I work for an organisation called Living Well with Dementia. We are a not for profit organisation running a weekly dance therapy activity in the Holy Family Parish Resource Centre on Wednesday afternoons from 1.30 pm to 3 pm starting back on Wednesday 4th September and particularly welcome to people living with dementia, their families and carers.
