Join us at Mass

The celebration of Mass is the main liturgical rite in the Catholic Church.  We come together as a community to hear the Word of God and receive the body and blood of Christ in Holy Communion.  Everyone is welcome to join us at Mass whether you are a parishioner, a visitor, lapsed or just curious.

“People come together as a Christian family at their local church. There is something very simple and natural about this. […] It connects us with the Last Supper. It unites us with Jesus Christ and with his eternal offering to the Father, in the power of the Holy Spirit. […] And at the end of Mass, we are sent out on a mission to serve others, and share the good news of salvation.”
Father Stephen Wang

Music at Mass

Music plays an important part in our celebrations of Mass and we are lucky to have three different groups that provide music to suit each service.  The 6pm Vigil Mass on a Saturday features our band of wind and string players. On Sundays the 9.45am Family Mass music group made up of keyboard, instrumentalists and singers provide music suitable for children and families, and the 11.30am Sung Mass is led by our Choir and Choristers. If you would be interested in joining any of our music groups you can find more information on our Groups & Ministries page.

Getting involved in the Mass

In addition to our music groups there are other ways to play an active part in the Mass – as part of our Welcoming Team, a reader,  altar server, children’s liturgy helper or Minister of the Eucharist.

There many other important roles that help to maintain our church too – cleaners, flower arrangers, looking after the repository and general maintenance.  Take a look at our Groups & Ministries page to see how you can get involved.
