Church Restoration Update: Window Repairs Advancing
The repair work on our church windows is continuing.
The good news is the church will open for all Masses from Wednesday 11th February.
The stained glass windows at the eastern end are repaired and replaced. The western end are still in progress. The sandstone surrounding the windows is significantly deteriorated.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we continue this vital work to preserve the beauty of our church for generations to come.

Ministry Commitment for 2026
The life of our parish depends on the generous stewardship of your time and talent. As we look ahead to 2026, we are once again asking every parishioner to prayerfully consider how God is calling them to serve our community.
Over the next few weeks, we invite you to commit to ministry by either:
- Reaffirming your current commitment to your existing ministry.
- Exploring a new ministry that sparks your passion.
- Doing both!
What is your call for 2026?
Whether it's reading Scripture, hospitality, visiting the sick, or helping with the website, your involvement makes a tangible difference.
Next Steps & Details:
Full information regarding available ministries and the sign-up process is published in the current bulletin and is also available here.
