The Legion of Mary meets once a week, usually on Monday afternoons in the rectory, and is always on the lookout for new members. The SVP meets on Tuesday and Friday afternoons, and would also welcome new volunteers. The children’s liturgy is now well established on Sunday afternoons at 4 pm, but here too, a greater number of volunteer catechists would lessen the load on individuals. Do ask at the Parish Office for a volunteer form to complete if you would like to offer your services to the parish in these or other ways. The parish office is normally open from Monday to Friday, from 9 am until 5 pm.

We have recently installed Baby changing facilities which can be found in the Disabled facilities on the Blandford Street side of the crypt.

 

A reminder that the toilet facilities in the crypt are best accessed via the staircase on the Blandford Street side of the church, leading as it does directly to the Disabled facilities and the corridor on which the other cloakrooms are located.

 

Safeguarding is an important and indeed crucial part of the life we share as a parish. It is a fundamental of human justice that the dignity of every person - most especially the young and the vulnerable - should never be compromised. Denise Hines co-ordinates our parochial safeguarding and her contact details are on the notice board in the George Street porch should any concerns be felt: we are grateful for Denise’s time given to this role.
