The messy family podcast

We believe that being a good parent starts with being a great spouse. But being a good parent or even a great spouse is hard, messy work. And we're not meant to do it alone! So join us on this journey, because we believe that not only is marriage and family life a path to holiness, but it’s an incredible adventure!

Abiding together

Hosted by Sister Miriam, Michelle Benzinger, and Heather Khym, Abiding Together provides a place of connection, rest and encouragement for people who are on the journey of living out their passion and purpose in Jesus Christ.

Pints with Aquinas

If you could sit down with St. Thomas Aquinas over a pint of beer and ask him any one question, what would it be? Every episode of Pints With Aquinas revolves around a question, a question that St. Thomas addresses in one of his many works. So get your geek on, pull up a bar stool, and grab a cold one. Here we go!

Matt Fradd and his guests discuss theology, philosophy, spirituality and culture from a Catholic perspective.

Donating

We are self-financing as a parish and need to raise funds to support our Priest in Charge, maintain our buildings and fund our activities. We receive no subsidies from the Archdiocese or the wider church. We would be most grateful if you would consider taking out a Standing Order to support us. Applicable to those who pay income tax, this allows us to recover any basic rate tax that you pay to HMRC, increasing the value of your donation by 20%. If you would be happy to do this, please download the Standing Order form and return it to us as explained above.
