We're very grateful to you all for continuing to give generously towards our parish. Even in lockdown, the pastoral mission of the parish continues. We have important responsibilities to meet pastorally as well as the stewardship of our church and premises. We do hope that even in these difficult times, you feel able to continue contributing towards our life and work here.

Memories of One of the First Parishioners
Steve Coleman was a parishioner at Our Lady of Lourdes from even before the church was built. With permission from his son, Peter Coleman, here are his memoirs of the founding of the parish and local life in the first half of the 20th century.

What We Are
There's a great deal more excellent material, including videos, at the parent website, Catholics Come Home.
Pictures from the Past
Tucked away in the attic of the presbytery we found, when looking for material about the church's history, a couple of boxes full of old books, minutes, bills and letters. We haven't had a chance to go through them systematically as yet, but what we did find were lots of fascinating old photos, some of which we've uploaded to the website, with more to come.
