Our Mission


There is a strong sense of belonging and parishioners are encouraged to be involved in all areas, whether through the Permanent Diaconate, Eucharistic Ministry, reading at Mass, or helping with social events.  

The church was re-ordered in 1994, when the altar rail was removed and the altar and tabernacle were re-positioned.  

 We hope that you would agree that it provides a prayerful atmosphere.

What do we do as a

“Moorland Sanctuary”?
