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.
