The Garden club meets in the second Saturday of each month from 10am-12noon, meeting outside the church in the quadrangle garden.

We are blessed to have a lot of land around the church. On his day off Fr Tomasz maintains the church garden (the area with the Grotto and Pond), but needs extra support from volunteers to keep on top of the weeds etc.

Volunteers of all ages with/without experience are most welcome.

Throughout our 100 year history we have been involved in current affairs, particularly those that impact on family life, lobbying our MPs to protect the marginalised and vulnerable in society both home and abroad. We are affiliated to other like minded organisations, are active in our parishes and support each other in love and prayer.

Our Life Ascending group meets every other Tuesday in our parish Upper Room at 1.30pm

We relax with a cup of tea and sometimes homemade cakes. After a hymn and opening prayers we use a gospel tract to highlight the theme and although this sounds serious, we do often laugh and
thoroughly enjoy ourselves. We occasionally meet with other groups and have an annual retreat
