Hello, we are delighted that you have found us. We want you to feel very comfortable when you visit us. There are no dress codes and no obligation. We are a warm, friendly community, made up of people of all ages. This booklet as well as giving general information, is an introduction to parish life at St Mary of the Cross. If you are curious or just interested, we invite you to come along, you won't be asked to do anything, just take everything at your own pace and we hope that we can provide you with a prayerful, uplifting, friendly experience. Families are very welcome. We like to say, "God put the wiggle in children." Our parish is on a renewal journey towards a missionary discipleship parish which we call "Opening the Door's and our Hearts to Christ's Love."

So, you have arrived at the right time! It is a very exciting time for our parish community. You can read more about what this entails in our 'Mission Plan' on our parish website here Pope Francis has said, “Let us remember this in our lives as Christians: God always waits for us, even when we have left Him behind! He is never far from us, and if we return to Him, He is ready to embrace us”. We look forward to meeting you.
