Introduction
This parish has a long and illustrious history and many generations have worshipped here over the 120 years of its existence.
The Church is well-known and loved. A fuller history of the church and its artifacts can be found in a pamphlet written by Monsignor John Furnival the current parish priest.
Today it continues to draw large numbers to Sunday mass, baptisms, weddings and, naturally, funerals, in the course of the year.
You can access Mass times and information about the church and parish and also to the weekly newsletter.
Links can be found to other local churches in the area, Pastoral Area activities and ecumenical partnership.

Parish Activities
Prayer Circle
The Prayer Circle in our parish is a way of keeping prayers going for the intentions of all in need, especially as it has continued to function during this time of the pandemic. The Prayer Circle is now in its sixth year, and its members pray daily in their own time for three intentions requested and are given new intentions each month. Intentions remain on the list for 6 months.
There is some lovely feed-back from people who have appreciated the prayers. If you would like to be a member and are willing to pray in your own time for three intentions each day, or put in a request for prayers or just find out more about the Prayer Circle then please contact Bernie Callaghan who organises this (and to whom we are very grateful) Contact Tel. 928 2558

The Society of St Vincent de Paul
Here in the parish we have an active SVP group comprising eight full members who meet in the Sunshine Room on a monthly basis. Six members visit 12 people at home or in residential care, with one member providing lifts to church for a couple of people One member volunteers at the Trussel Trust Food Bank and Pantry. Two members volunteer at the Irenaeus Centre at 32 Great Georges Road, Waterloo, helping with the food cupboard and offering refreshments and a chat to those who call in there. Another member shops, cooks, and serves meals at a parish hub. One member volunteers at a local school, assisting primary school children with their reading. Another member makes weekly visits to prison to meet and talk with prisoners. On the first weekend of the month the SVP collect money after the Mass on Saturday night/Sunday morning and distribute donations on a quarterly basis for the following needs: Vinnie Packs (cold weather essentials for homeless people), Christopher Grange residential care home for the visually impaired), the SVP Hardship Fund, St. Nicholas’ Boys Camp and the parish of St. James. Consideration is also given to needy local causes on an indivudual basis. There is the intention to trial the use of a card reader as an alternative to cash donations in the near future. If anyone would like to join the parish SVP in this good work please contact Father John.
