Our Mission
Our Mission is to continue growing as a community where people can meet Jesus Christ and grow in his life and mission in the Catholic Faith.
The spirituality our parish mission is expressed best in the parish prayer of St Therese of Avila.
Christ has no body on earth but yours;
no hands but yours;
no feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which he is to look out-
Christ's compassion to the world.
Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good.
Yours are the hands with which he is to bless others now.
​
​
OUR VISION
To be a Parish that is open and transparent, nurturing, united and inclusive.
To be a community that is welcoming, embracing and caring for families, youth and valuing cultural diversity.
To be a Parish that brings those who do not know Christ into relationship with him.

SAFEGUARDING OFFICERS
The PPC is filled with joy as the parish welcomes children and their families to the First Eucharist Commitment Mass. This occasion and time of preparation brings joy because:
-
Children take an important step in their faith journey, growing closer to Jesus through the Eucharist.
-
Families celebrate together, sharing in their child's spiritual growth and commitment to faith.
-
The parish community welcomes and supports them, reminding everyone that they are part of the Body of Christ.
-
The Eucharist is a gift of God's love, nourishing believers and uniting them with Jesus and one another.
-
It is a time of thanksgiving and hope, as children continue to grow in faith, service, and discipleship.
As Catholics, we rejoice because the Eucharist is the source and summit of Christian life, and each child who receives this sacrament is welcomed more deeply into the life of Christ and His Church. This shared celebration strengthens the faith of the whole community and fills hearts with gratitude and joy. Please keep them in your prayers.
The PPC looks forward to clarity around next steps in regard to the audio system after the visit from OsbornAudio next week.
Feel free to talk to any of these officers about any queries/concerns that you may have about the safeguarding of children or the vulnerable in our parish.

Ordinary Time
​
We are in the season of Ordinary Time, when the liturgy has a chance to focus on the teachings and ministry of Jesus. This is the second period of Ordinary Time in the Church’s Year. The first period of Ordinary Time went from Christmas to Ash Wednesday. Ordinary Time is distinguished by using the colour GREEN.
The liturgical year is not one single moment in time, it is many moments in time all leading us back to one major moment, the cross and Resurrection.
The liturgical year then is an array of events designed to shape us into being what we say we are - followers of Jesus, disciples of Christ, the Christian community.
Ordinary Time doesn’t mean average. It means the time outside the seasons of Lent, Easter, Advent and Christmas. We count this season in ordinal numbers to remember how Jesus lived his ordinary life. This season gives time for spiritual growth.
In the special seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter we hear readings that specifically deal with those events.
During Ordinary Time we hear consecutive readings from one of the three Synoptic Gospels. These readings immerse us in the ministry of Jesus and give us the opportunity to grow in understanding of the life and teaching of Jesus.
In recent weeks, the gospel of Matthew has shown us Jesus instructing his disciples, and using parables to challenge their thinking.
This shows the importance of living out the Christian vocation in the ordinary aspects of life.
