St Mary’s Parish Library was established in 2004 by a group of parishioners who aimed to provide a collection of religious resources for St Mary’s Parish. Resources are chosen to further the education of borrowers in their faith, to give them inspiration in their spiritual lives, and to provide entertainment with a religious/spiritual theme. Many of the items would not be readily available in public libraries. The Committee functions under the direction of the Parish Priest. It consists of the Convenor/Volunteer Librarian and a group of interested parishioners. Volunteers to join the Committee and/or staff the Library are very welcome. The Committee's function is to:

  • Oversee the general management of the Library
  • Provide volunteer staffing for the Library
  • Suggest and discuss acquisitions when funds are available
  • Discuss the retention or disposal of donations
  • Manage funds received through donations
  • Cull resources no longer needed
  • Organise library promotion activities


The Library is located in the Gathering Space near the entrance of the Church. The Library is usually open after Masses at the weekend and during the week after Mass when a committee member is available. Library membership is open to anyone within the Diamond Valley Deanery. Loans are for one month. Access the Parish Library Catalogue here.
