Keep Calm and carry on
As we travel through these difficult times we have set up this area of our web site as an area where we can share information and stories to help us to get through to the other side of this current situation.
Any updates on Masses will be shown here. Any links to other useful web pages will be shown here. But, most importantly, this is an area where you can contribute. Do you have anything to share with our church community? Are you in need of any help and support? Please contact us if there's anything we can do.
There will be a list below of headings of the areas covered - and these will be updated by your messages - click on the relevant text to be taken to the relevant page.
