“A voice cries in the wilderness;
Prepare a way for the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be made low.
The winding roads shall be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth, and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Luke 3:5–6
Advent is a season in the Church’s life intended to renew the experience of waiting and longing for the Messiah.
Though Christ has already come into the world, the Church invites us to renew our desire for the Lord more deeply in our lives
and to renew our desire for Christ’s triumphant second coming into the world.
Advent is the time in which we prepare for Christmas, the memorial of Jesus Christ being born into the world.
Preparations are practical, like decorating trees and gift giving, but they’re also intended to be spiritual.
During Advent, we’re invited to enter more frequently into silence, into prayer and reflection, into Scripture, and into the sacramental life of the Church
— all to prepare for celebrating Christmas.

Firstly a hearty welcome to all who have moved into our parishes in recent times!
Many thanks for visiting our Parish website. This site has been designed with three aims:
Firstly to aid the work of our priests in our parishes in preaching the word of Jesus and their teaching of His message to us.
Secondly to aid parents, children and adults as our children and young adults prepare for the Sacraments and also for adults who are preparing for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).

Thirdly to reflect the wider community among whom we live and the various activities and organisations that go to make up our community. We acknowledge and respect the diversity of faiths and origins in our multi-faith and multi-ethnic community.
We invite your views and contributions on church and parish life. Also as this site was built with limited resources there may be aspects that could be improved – do let us know.
