Aims
The reason for having a parish Web site has always been to provide an additional channel for communication between ‘The Parish’ and parishioners and visitors to the site. The intention is to provide useful information about day-to-day activities as well as about the groups and organisations that work in the parish and about our Catholic faith. In addition there are links to other sites which visitors may find useful.
This is the second version of our website and we must express our thanks to Marion Gaskell, Fr Garry Murphy and the team who designed and created the first one. Many of the ideas in that site and not a little of the content have been carried forward albeit in somewhat different ways. A website lives or dies by being kept up to date and we must also thank Errol Curran who has faithfully kept the site updated with parish news and events over the years.
It is human nature to resist change and so we expect that there will be people who dislike the changes we are making as well, we hope, as those who like them. We welcome your comments and suggestions. If you would rather make comments privately then contact the webmaster or Fr Sean using the ’email us’ page.
If you are an aspiring author and would like to contribute something – especially concerning the Catholic faith, Catholic devotions etc. then get in touch.
If you run a Parish group and we have not included you please accept our apologies – it was not intentional. If we have included your group or activity and you would like to amend the entry we have published then, again, get in touch.
