The Pastoral Council is a group of people who together represent the entire parish and who plan and guide its growth. They are chosen by the parish to join with the parish priest in long-range planning, the setting of parish priorities, and the implementation of programs.

The Parish Finance Committee functions as a consultative body to the parish priest.  It consists of selected professionals to advise the parish priest in these areas:

• Preparation of the annual operating budget.

• Long-term financial planning.

The Council ensures that an adequate system of internal controls is in place to guide the parish in caring for and managing financial resources.

​Catechism sessions are open to all children who attend Holy Family Catholic Church.

​​The success of the Children’s Catechism in Holy Family is due to our committed team of parish Catechists who give their time freely each Sunday to work with the children.

​Once the children have started schooling, they are welcome to join with the Holy Family catechism sessions which run at mass every Sunday during school term time.  At these sessions they begin to look at their faith in a more formal way in small groups with children of a similar age. Catechists help the children to grow in their awareness of God and knowledge of the Catholic faith. The children also get involved in all sorts of parish activities to help them realise that they too are part of the Church.

The Cash Counting Group is a team of volunteer parishioners who help the church count the monies donated to the church on the collection plate and other means.

The St Vincent de Paul Society (SVP) is an international Christian voluntary organisation dedicated to tackling poverty and disadvantage by providing practical assistance to those in need, irrespective of ideology, faith, age or gender. The Society is a lay organisation initially formed in Paris in 1833 by Blessed Frédéric Ozanam and his companions and have been active in England and Wales since 1844.  Placed under the Patronage of St Vincent de Paul, it is inspired by his thinking and works. It seeks, in the spirit of justice and charity, to help those who are suffering poverty in whatever form.

​Strengthening family life through friendship and faith.

The Catenians of Holy Family Catholic Chuirch are committed to their Faith, their families, to those in need and to each other. Our primary purpose is to establish a network of friends, which enhances their family life, strengthens their Faith and sustains them in difficult times. We support each other, the Catholic Church, young people and those in need.

The Catenian Association offers opportunities to:

• Meet and pray with fellow Catholics with similar values.

• Become part of a close community offering lifelong support and friendship.

• Be part of an organisation which values friendship and social activity with other Catholic Families.

• Respond to initiatives and undertake good work for the benefit of others.

The Association is non party-political and is neither a fund-raising agent nor a Catholic action pressure group.
