Spiritual Life of the Parish

Ghanaian Christian Mothers
This group of African parishioners meets once a month to read and discuss the liturgies for the forthcoming weekend Masses in their native language. Prayers are said followed by a short period of spiritual reflection and then hymns will be sung. After the prayers have been concluded, there is time to discuss general issues and for new members to be introduced. Representatives from this group contribute by singing during special parish church services. For more information, contact the Presbytery.

Prayer Group
The prayer group meets on a Thursday evening in the side church at 8pm. Usually the group members will sit in a circle. The Holy Eucharist is carried in from the tabernacle and is placed in the centre of the group. The rosary is prayed followed by liturgical readings chosen either from the coming Sunday’s gospel or from ‘Bible Alive’. There is a short discussion followed by some moments of silent reflection. Prayers are offered for special intentions. This group would always welcome new members. For more information, contact the Presbytery.

Ascent Group
This group is made up of senior parishioners who meet for a short while in the Parish Centre, usually once per month to reflect on the liturgies for the forthcoming Sunday Mass and to pray together. After a time of spiritual reflection, refreshments are served as well as a short period of socialising. For more information, contact the Presbytery.
