The Parish Pastoral Council has produced a directory of all ministries, organisations and clubs that exist in the parish. This should be a great source of information for both new and existing parishioners. It may also hopefully encourage more people to volunteer to get involved in parish activities. New ideas and talent are always welcome! Click on continue reading to view the directory. View the directory here.
