Advent Volunteering
We begin today the Liturgical Year following in the footsteps of Christ.
On this journey we are not spectators but participants and that is more demanding.
Christian Ministry is about the needs of the Christian Community and has its roots in the Ministry of Christ and our baptism.
We are grateful to the many people who give their time and talents to our parish community, there is always need for more volunteers, so do give it some serious thought.
There are forms available on the seats or at the doors. Please give it thought and fill in the application form.
