Fellowships
Growing Together in Faith and Community
Fellowship is at the heart of our parish community. It is where faith becomes friendship, where support becomes strength, and where we grow together in Christ. Through shared prayer, service, learning, and social connection, our groups create spaces where everyone can feel welcomed, encouraged, and valued.
Whether you are exploring your faith through Alpha, serving with the Catholic Women’s League, deepening your spiritual life in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Group, walking in devotion with the Legion of Mary, or connecting through our men’s and women’s groups, there is a place for you here. We invite you to join us and experience the joy of belonging to a vibrant, faith-filled community.
What We Offer
ALPHA
The Alpha Course is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith, usually run over eleven weeks, and was started by Nicky Gumbel at Holy Trinity Brompton in London in 1990. It provides a welcoming environment where participants can explore Christianity, ask questions, and share their views. Topics include “Who is Jesus?”, “Why and how do I pray?”, “How does God guide us?”, and “What about the Church?”. Sessions often include a meal, a short talk or video, and small group discussions. Alpha helps people grow in their understanding of God, develop a personal relationship with Jesus, and has become widely used for evangelism and discipleship in churches worldwide.
