Focus is on living our Christian faith

Join the Youth Mass!

Starting 11 October, the Saturday vigil Mass (6 pm) at the Cathedral becomes our Youth Mass—a space where young people can serve and grow in faith.

From welcoming people to mass, bringing up the gifts, proclaiming the Word, or lifting spirits in song, every role is a chance to actively live your faith.

Sign-ups are open now!

Please sign up for one role per mass - but as many masses as you’d like to serve!

For those interested in volunteering, we’ll hold another ‘get ready to serve’ training early in the New Year.

Faith formation activities - mark your diaries!

19 Nov - Bible Study begins! 7.30 - 9 pm
