Welcome to our website....Let it be both an entrée into our community and an ongoing source of information about how we try to live out our vision which is “To Follow The Example Of Jesus By Serving Others.” – I hope you accept that that’s a goal and not a boast about where we are now!
I want to give you a bit more of a welcome than this so, if you’d like more… click here. |

VINNIES GIFTING TREE APPEAL
THANK YOU for all the donated Food Items for food hampers made up by our Vinnie’s volunteers. Because of your generosity we delivered 104 Hamper bags locally and we have $15,300 to help give people a “hand up” over the next year. Financial donations can be given any time using the envelopes or the “poor boxes” at the back of the church.

PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL (PPC)
The PPC represents the larger parish and it is important that you make your ideas, needs and hopes (both spiritual and tem-poral) known. Much of what we achieved last year was in response to parishioners’ feedback received via PPC members or through the 2016 National Church Life Survey. The 2019 PPC will be introduced to the parish in the New Year, but in the interim please keep your good thoughts, intentions, information, and new ideas coming through. Either talk with us or e-mail at ppcstafford@gmail.com.
