Facilities and Grounds
Although the work of engaging in the community, offering growth in prayer and our Christian lives, supporting one another through works of charity and service are all essential, we also need teams of dedicated people to look after the various church buildings that make up our parish. You will find information on a whole range of indoor and outdoor service groups here.
