Bishop Crispian has often used two key words to sum up how we carry out our Christian calling:

In our parish we endeavour to build up a Christian community based on our celebrations of the Mass. Through a joyful and prayerful liturgy we try to support one another in our faith and in practical ways. Through COMMUNION with our Lord and with one another we aim to build up a COMMUNITY that is an extension of our own families.

From a firm base in our liturgy we aim to reach out to others and carry out our MISSION to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, not by standing on soap boxes but by the welcome we extend to visitors and the help we give to those in our parish. We are very much aware of our own human failings but none-the-less are committed to reaching out to those who do not know Jesus Christ.
