Missionary disciples feel joy in serving in a parish ministry and serving God. At St Mary of the Cross Parish we invite, encourage and support everyone to serve in a ministry that makes the best use of their gifts and time. When we step forward to help, we soon discover that our needs are met far more deeply than we ever experienced otherwise. The love of God comes to life when we serve in

ministry. We thank all who currently serve in a parish ministry, and we welcome anyone who has been thinking about it and would now like to become involved.

Don't worry if you have never been involved in a ministry before, we will provide support. You may try a few different areas before you settle on the one (or more) that suit you best.
