Social Support
There are all sorts of things that get in the way of our getting to know one another in the parish community!
Gathering 'at the school gate' is one way, at least for parents and grandparents. But single people, and newcomers to the parish find it especially difficult to get to know others.
Pleas know that we don't want to be 'stand off-ish', but we appreciate it can seem that way sometimes. However, even if we fail to take the first step to meet you and greet you, please forgive us...
The pages in this section of our website will help you to access any help you may need. The Ministries page may also help you to recognise ways in which you can serve Christ in the community. If you cannot find the information you need, please contact Fr Allen.

- If you are new to the parish, please introduce yourself to Fr Allen. If you have just moved into a new home, you might like to ask him to come and bless your home. Feel free to ask, he will be happy to oblige.
- There are usually members of the parish to welcome you to Mass, with a smile and helping you to a hymnbook and a newsletter.
- We regularly have tea and coffee after our Sunday morning Masses. We meet in the old parish centre, now called leased as a Community Centre, called the 'Carpenter's Arms' - access is from our car park, on the right hand side of the church... Come and join us.
- There is a monthly shared lunch for those 'travelling solo' - single people in the church. Details are in the newsletter.
