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 Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) continues to meet regularly and work diligently to further the mission of the Church within our parish community. Guided by prayer, discernment, and a commitment to serving God's people, the Council remains focused on fostering a vibrant, welcoming, and faith-filled parish where all can encounter Christ and participate in the life of the Church.
The PPC will gather again next week as we continue our ongoing work of listening, planning, and discerning the future direction of our parish. Central to this process is our participation in the Conversations in the Spirit initiative, which invites us to prayerfully reflect on the important question: “What is God asking of us today?”
These conversations provide an opportunity for parishioners to share their experiences, hopes, concerns, and aspirations for our parish and the wider Diocese. By listening deeply to one another and to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, we seek to discern how God is calling us to live out the Gospel in our time and place.
We warmly encourage all parishioners to participate in one of the scheduled Conversations in the Spirit sessions. Your voice, perspective, and faith journey are important. The future direction of our parish is enriched when all members of our community have the opportunity to contribute.
Together, let us continue to pray, listen, and discern God's call as we journey forward in faith and hope.
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.

Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus – Friday after Corpus Christi
​​
This feast gathered together elements of Christian life. The heart has always been a natural symbol of human life. As long as our hearts beat, we know we are alive. In many cultures the heart is a natural symbol of human love. The regular beating of our hearts suggests the depth and the enduring power of our love. When we speak of the heart of a novel or of a problem, it means the deepest point that explains its other aspects. It is natural then to associate people’s love with their heart.
We find these associations of the heart in the New Testament. The most significant story in shaping the Devotion to the Sacred Heart is found in the account of Jesus’ death in the Gospel of John. After his death a soldier pierced Jesus’ heart with a spear, whereupon blood and water flowed out. The story showed that Jesus had given all he had in his love for us, leaving us with the waters of baptism and the blood of the Eucharist as signs of his continuing presence to us in the Church. The image of the pierced heart embodied for early Christians God’s love shown in Jesus’ life and death.
The feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus focuses attention on God’s tender love for us shown in Jesus’ death. This focus on God’s love for us shown in Jesus’ death remains the heart of Christian faith.
