The Parish is served by an attractive Victorian Gothic Church, and has an active ministry to people of all ages. The Church and parish are served by a Parish Priest, a Curate and an Honorary Curate.
Growing together in Christ through prayer and common worship, in awareness of an ever-changing society, we are called to commit our time and talents to expand his kingdom and share his love by reaching out actively to our community.
