We may come from all different walks of life, but as a Catholic community, we are united by our faith and our love for God and neighbour.
At the heart of who we are is not all the buildings but the person of Jesus Christ, who enters into our lives and who we then share with others.
Welcome! Come and learn about Jesus – who he is and how much he loves you. We invite you to learn about our parishes too – supportive communities where we pray, learn and share our lives with one another.
'Jesus Christ loves you; he gave his life to save you; and now he is living at your side every day to enlighten, strengthen and free you.'
There are many aspects to living our faith in the world today. Explore key aspects of the Catholic faith, resources for parishes and different ways you can to grow in and share your faith with others.
