Altar servers play an important part in the Church's liturgy.  Good servers enable us all; bishops, priests, deacons and laity to celebrate the Mass and the other sacraments with a spirit of prayer.  Building up the Body of Christ and making sure that it works well is a job directed by the Holy Spirit.  All people in the church are given a gift, a talent, which can be used for the benefit of the church. Serving at the Altar is one of those gifts. Training at various times is scheduled and announced in advance.

The Children's Liturgy takes place every Sunday during the 9:15 am Family Mass. This enables children and young people to celebrate the work of God at their own level of understanding.  This is up to and including Year 6 children.

To accompany children on their faith journey is most enriching - join us and find out for yourself!

Tea and Coffee is served after 9:15 Sunday Mass in the lower room - a chance for parishioners to meet socially.  We use only FAIRTRADE products.  All profits go to support the work of WAYmakers.  WAYmakers are aiming to resettle a refugee family in the Parish and need to raise £9000 to support their application to be a Community Sponsor.  

Additional helpers are always welcome - please contact:

THE 9:15 MASS MUSIC GROUP

Music at the 9:15 am Sunday Mass is led by our Family Music Group.  We are a friendly group who welcome instrumentalists and singers of all abilities and ages; we are very proud of our younger musicians!

We play a mixture of contemporary and traditional music and meet once a month to practice and plan.  We welcome parishioners to join us for as much or as little as their time commitments allow.  We play at other parish celebrations throughout the year; carolling at Tesco's for Cafod is one of our favourite invitations!

If you would like to join us, come chat with us on a Sunday or drop us an email:

THE 11:15 MASS CHOIR

The Sunday Masses are supported by two music groups, who join together to lead the music liturgy at major festivals and celebrations. At the 11:15 am Mass, the music, accompanied by the organ, tends more toward the traditional and uses music by a wide range of composers, both ancient and modern.  The group is keen on the reasonable regular use of ancient melodies such as plainsong.

The St Vincent de Paul Society (SVP) is an international Christian voluntary organisation dedicated to tackling poverty and disadvantage by providing direct practical assistance to anyone in need.

By joining our SVP group you can help to support individuals and families in need.

Volunteering with the SVP is an opportunity to make a difference to people's lives.  Loneliness has been described by Mother Teresa as the great western disease and a large part of activities is visiting the sick, the lonely, and the elderly.  You don't need to have experience, an obvious skill, or come from a particular social background.

Our meeting takes place on the first Thursday of each month at the Conference Centre, Mount St Mary Convent, Wonford Road, from 7:30 pm - 8:00 pm.
