Parish Mission Statement

At the FAMILY MASS on 15th December at 12 noon we invite children to bring statues of the infant Jesus from the crib at home to be blessed during the Mass.
If you do not have a statue, then bring a Christmas Candle to be blessed.

ANNUAL ST VINCENT DE PAUL CHRISTMAS COLLECTION will replace the SHARE COLLECTION during Mass on 7th /8th December 2019. Please be as generous as possible to support people who need help during the year.
