The parish actively supports a number of mission organisations throughout the year – through donation, activities and through prayer. We support mission partners Sharon Wilcox in Ecuador and Bishop Dimba in Malawi on an on-going basis – please see their latest updates below. In addition we support selected organisations each year, please see our quarterly mission focus below. Please hold all these organisations and their amazing people in your prayers.
