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.
2025 JUBILEE PRAYER
​​
​​​​​​​
​
​
Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel. May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us,
Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our
Redeemer throughout the earth. To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever. Amen.

SAFEGUARDING OFFICERS
Dear Parishioners,
In reflecting on Pope Leo the Great’s beautiful exhortation Dilexi Te (“I Have Loved You”), we are reminded that our Christian life is grounded in love — a love that flows first from God and calls for our response in faith and charity. Pope Leo invites us to recognise that Christ’s love is not abstract or distant; it is a living reality revealed through His Incarnation, Passion, and Resurrection. His total self-giving becomes the model for how we are called to love one another.
Pope Leo reminds us that the measure of our faith is not simply in words or ritual, but in the way we live out love each day. To love Christ is to love as He loved — with mercy, patience, humility, and service. He calls us to reject selfishness and division, to see in every person the image of God, and to allow Christ’s love to shape our hearts and our community.
As a parish, this teaching challenges us to deepen our unity, to reach out to those in need, and to nurture faith that bears fruit in action. When we gather for Eucharist, we celebrate the very love Pope Leo describes — Christ offering Himself for us and inviting us to do likewise.
May Dilexi Te inspire us to renew our commitment to live as a people transformed by divine love, radiating Christ’s compassion within our parish and beyond.
Yours in Friendship, Prayer and Service
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.

FAITH EDUCATION
by Sr. Christine Clarke, PBVM
Jubilee of Consecrated Life
The most recent of the Jubilee celebrations in Rome was that of Consecrated Life. In an audience for the occasion, Pope Leo XIV praised the centuries of service that consecrated people have offered the Church, and thanked them for all the hidden daily gestures that help to sustain the Church worldwide. He used the image of "small lights that become like the path of a luminous trail in the great plan of peace and salvation that God has for humanity."
Pope Leo urged them to stay connected to Christ and to keep bringing the Lord to others through their witness and faith. He reiterated that the Church needs them and the full diversity and richness of all forms of consecrated life and ministry. He said, "You are living your vocation as part of the wonderful adventure of following Jesus more closely."
He also stressed the deep need for hope and peace in the hearts of men and women of our time, adding, "you can be messengers of harmony through your words and your example."
In this context, he told them to " pursue synodality”, encouraging them "to remain faithful to the path we are all walking together in this direction," as well as to "live out for the ongoing renewal of the Body of Christ in relationships, processes, and methods."
Pope Leo XIV concluded by thanking all the consecrated individuals for the great good they do in the Church and in the world.
