Welcoming Group |
||||||||||||||
| This is often the first official welcoming person of the community and usually the first representative of the parish those coming to mass will meet. They will greet worshippers at the door of the church, make them feel welcome and usher them to available seats. They are the ‘face’ of the parish at the door and can always be called upon to answer questions. Group Co-ordinator – Parish Office |

The St Margaret Mary Hall, Paray Room and St Margaret Mary Room |
||||||||||||||
| The Hall is a fantastic asset belonging to the parish. It is used after each 10.15 mass to allow parishioners to meet and have a cup of tea or coffee. During 10.15 mass, it accommodates the younger children for their liturgy. Many other groups use the hall (respect 2000, brownies, rainbows, pre-School Liturgy). With a well equipped kitchen, it can provide facilities for receptions, discos and parties. St Margaret Mary Room is a small room which forms part of the Hall and, like the hall, is used for children’s liturgy (more generally, the pre-school liturgy use this room). It provides more privacy and, like the hall, can be booked for meetings with the advantage of being able to use the kitchen facilities of the hall. The Paray Room is our newest addition and is part of the new church development. It is used by many church groups and is used on Sundays for children's liturgy.
