Dear Parishioners and Visitors

Welcome to our Parish website - our home on the internet!

You will find here information and the latest news about our warm and welcoming Catholic Faith Community.

In a rapidly changing world it is difficult for many people to find time to reflect, be quiet, be still. Christ invited his disciples "to come apart with me and rest a while". I hope that you may find opportunities in our parish celebrations and other events organised by members of our community to be still and feel the presence of the Lord in your life.

With prayers for God’s Blessings and His peace for you and your loved ones.

Benedict O'Shea, Parish Priest

Also, if you plan to start paying by Standing Order or amend an existing Standing Order then you can download the new Diocesan Standing Order Mandate from our website here.

VOCATIONS SUNDAY - 29th April

Submitted by nstone on Fri, 04/05/2012 - 13:30.
This was a day when, as a diocese, we pray particularly for vocations to the priesthood.The life of the priest is immensely fulfilling. It is a calling which brings great joy and blessing. Please pray hard for vocations to the priesthood. Your sons and grandsons are those whom God may be calling to this radical way of life ... Every young Catholic single man needs to ask himself the question, at some stage in his life, 'Is God calling me to be a priest?'.

Please consider how best you might help single men of all ages to consider the calling of Christ in their lives. Do you pray for vocations to the priesthood? Could you start a parish prayer group to support vocations to the priesthood? Do you invite the young men of your parish or your family to seriously consider the priesthood? Could you be a link person with the Vocations Director for your parish? Could you organise a monthly Holy Hour for vocations in your parish? Are there other things that you could do? 

The Diocesan Vocation Director is Fr Terry Martin who may be contacted at: vocations@dabnet.org

APF Red Boxes

Our Parish Supports the APF, the official support organisation for the overseas mission of the Catholic Church which supports every mission diocese in the world.  Many of our Parishioners hold a "Red Box" in their homes where they collect loose change.  These boxes are collected and counted every six months by a team of people from the Parish. To take a Red Box please contact the Parish Office. To find out more about the Mission www.missio.org.uk or www.millhillmissonaries.com
