St Peter & St Paul’s SVP would like to thank all our parish for their supportive interest in our recent displays and lectern awareness appeal. Gregory is kindly allowing us to resume our Weekend After-Mass Collections from late October whenever there is no other special collection. You can help us so much with the increasing needs in our parish and local communities. The SVP wall collection box (just to the left of the main doors as you go out) is also there for donations at any time. Many thanks to you all in our parish. God bless

SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME -  VIEW MASS TIMES


'Christ has no body now but yours' St Teresa of Avila'


We are the parish of St. Peter & St. Paul. Our mission is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ in worship, sacrament and prayer, and in active loving service, particularly of the poor and more vulnerable members of society. Christ inspires people to live lives of hope, free from sin and with hearts open to truth, love and compassion. With the Eucharist as the source and summit of our spiritual lives and under the protection of the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we strive to continue Christ's ministry in faithful discipleship.

We hope this site reflects something of the vibrancy and faith of our community. There is much more information in these pages about the pastoral and spiritual life of the parish.
