Parish Groups - Vision

Picture
As the Eucharist is at the centre of all Parish life, ours is to strive to build a vibrant community around the Eucharist, where we celebrate the gift of Jesus' love.

Our parish community strives to present the image of a true family, where everybody is given the opportunity to belong. Our diversity in nationalities and cultures is the source of our strength and these create an environment for us to sincerely share our differences with one another.
Following from the mandate of our Lord "Go, therefore, make disciples of the nations" (Mt.28:19), we embark on a mission that is apostolic in character and inclusive in nature. We strive to become a more witnessing community to the love and mercy of God.

Our spirit of oneness enables us to be aware of the needs of the sick and elderly, the lonely and vulnerable, the aggrieved and lapsed, young adults and single parents. We aim to build a closely knit Parish Community where we care for each other. Beyond the boundaries of our Catholic faith, we strive to accommodate people of other faiths and political leanings. Young people are the hope of the future. We strive to develop programmes suitable to their pattern of life that enable them to integrate into parish life.

Families form the nucleus of parish life; we strive to reach out to families to support parents in maintaining and upholding those rich family values and in the upbringing of their children.

The parish school provides the avenue of engaging our children. In our pastoral drive to participate in their formation, we strive to collaborate with all those charged with their formation.

Given the multicultural nature of our environment, we are aware of the unique needs of migrants. We strive to be more supportive in attending to their overall needs and their efforts to integrate into the wider community. While we are concerned about the future of the parish as a result of decline in vocation and number of parishioners, we resign ourselves to the ever powerful intercession of  Our Lady of the Assumption.
