About Us
Each of our church communities has its own distinct 'feel', but we also do many things together.
Fr Tony Milner is our Parish Priest.
Sacraments
Preparation classes for the reception of First Holy Communion and for Confirmation will begin in the New Year
For Baptisms and Marriages please contact the parish office.
Masses
Masses are now largely 'back to normal' and you are welcome to join us at St George's or St Theresa's
Prayer
Many resources are available to help you with prayer.
The relaxing of restrictions means the the wearing of masks in church is no longer mandatory. However we continue to ask you to wear them for Sunday masses and larger gatherings.
Our Bishops have written a letter entitled 'Honouring Sunday' explaining the importance of coming to Mass on Sundays and encouraging people who have not yet done so to return. Read the Bishops' letter here.
If you have particular difficulties because of the pandemic, take a look at the resources page but also please let the Parish Office know, so that we can offer you help and support.
Support your parish!
