In this spirit, we hope you and your child/family members will consider giving a hand so that our Sunday Family Mass will continue to run smoothly.
We welcome all help. Come as a family or as an individual.
Every element will be organised on a rota basis – this will probably be once a month, depending on the number of people who come forward to help.
Training will be provided for most areas. The commitment of time required is indicated below.
