Keeping in touch is one of the highest priorities of the
Parish. We therefore have developed a number of different
methods of communicating with Parishioners. We encourage
Parishioners to make use of these facilities, and to
encourage others to do the same.
Latest News
(Blog)
The Latest News section of the website is the place to find
announcements, but more importantly, reports of parish
events and activities.
To make our Blog work, we are actively looking to form a
"Parish Communications Committee". We need parishioners to
volunteer to act as reporters, writing up news stories as
events happen. We also need official photographers to make
records of events that can be published in the Blog. This
is a new initiative, so any help we can get would be
appreciated.
Newsletter
Mailing
The weekly newsletter is the basic vehicle of communicating
parish information and notifying parishioners of events. It
is available in printed form in the Church each weekend,
but we can now send it to you in an email. This is
especially useful if you are away for the weekend.
We respect your privacy and have a zero-tolerance to
unsolicited spam email. We promise only to use your email
address for the weekly newsletter, corrections to mistakes
in the newsletter, and occasional urgent messages of events
at very short notice. You can, at any time, unsubscribe
from the mailing list.
Parish
Diary
Our online Parish Diary (powered by Google Calendar) allows
parishioners instant access to the main Parish Diary.
On the website parishioners can see all the events of
the parish including: Masses (with the mass
intention); other Services in the Church; meetings in
the Parish Centre and parish events.
In addition to providing the Parish Diary on the website,
you can also subscribe to our Google Calendar, and make use of
many other facilities provided by Google, all for
FREE.
Parish
Registration and Census
We encourage all parishioners and regular visitors to
register, initially on arrival in the parish, and then
annually through our Parish Census. Keeping our records
up-to-date and free from error is a constant task,
especially as information is continually changing.
We respect your privacy and promise to severely restrict
access to your personal information. Only those who have a
genuine pastoral reason to contact you will be authorised
to use this information. All personal information is held
and used in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
