We will be visiting all the main pilgrimage sites in Assisi, while staying in the heart of the hillside town, which is a UNESCO world heritage location.

Please complete the booking forms available in our churches to reserve your place with the Tour Company directly.

Accordingly this visit is not suitable for those with walking difficulties or who require airport assistance.

All are welcome for Baptism

Sometimes people feel worried about asking so I wanted to share this personal message. Please feel at ease about asking for Baptism for yourself or for your children. Baptisms usually take place Saturdays and Sundays at 12 noon. If you have any questions or would like further information please contact me through the parish office. Fr. Ryan |
WALKING TOGETHER - UNFOLDING GOD‘S PLAN in our Parish
Following Archbishop Bernard’s Pastoral Letter, we are invited to reflect on how we can continue to work together build a vibrant community of faith, joyful in our service of God and neighbour. All are welcome to share in this important process.
Over the past year we have met to discuss and put into place plans to bring to life the Diocesan Vision Statement and how we continue to move forward as a parish - deepening our faith (formation and spiritual growth), sharing our faith (evangelisation), celebrating our faith (worship and liturgy) and witnessing our faith (social action) - click here for a summary.
Click here to find out more about ‘Unfolding God’s Plan’ in our Parish and the invitation from our Holy Father and Archbishop Bernard to walk together and become true missionary disciples.
