Parish Registration. We are always pleased to welcome new
members into our Parish Family and we invite you to enter fully into
our spiritual and social life. We hope that you will bless the
parish with your time, talent and treasure according to your means.
In order to update our Parish Records, we invite people who came to
live in the area recently to register with us. This information
assists us in planning the future needs of the parish. Registration
forms available from either priest after Mass. During the months of
September and October, we will endeavour to enlist as many ‘new
comers’ as possible into our Parish Family. If you have come to live
here and were baptised Roman Catholic we want you to be at home in
our caring church community.
