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.
