Liturgy
We are fortunate to Have Fr Smith living in retirement in the Parish House. Fr Smith Celebrates the Parish Weekday Masses and helps with Sunday Mass. Lay people lead the Stations of the Cross during Lent. Holy Day Masses are held together with the children from St William's School. Lay Leaders lead services of the Word and Eucharist in the Priest's absence. The Church is fortunate to have a good core of Parishioners with keys who will take responsibility for opening and closing the Church on a daily basis.

Service
We have a joint ecumenical Christian Aid event throughout the local villages each year together with joint Service of Remembrance with the local Churches and British Legion. We have a wonderful team of flower arrangers; a small group of ladies arrange the church flowers all through the year. The parishioners take great pride in their Church hence we have a dedicated team of cleaners.
Representatives from the Parish serve as foundation Governors on our school governing board which helps to encourage links between the school and the Parish.
