Ministry of Welcome

It is very important and in accordance with our faith that all who attend or visit our parish feel welcome. To support in this it would be great to have a team of 'Welcomers' who can play some part in carrying out this very important ministry. If any one is interested in more information about this, please speak with any of the clergy.
