Get Involved

Here at St. Roberts Church, we welcome new residents and visitors. Our parish is very much dependent on the coming together of the people within our community. As a collective, our church shares the responsibility needed for us to be a vibrant, faith-filled part of the body of Christ. For this to happen, it is important that, where possible, parishioners assist with the operational aspects of the church and parish, using the skills at knowledge at their disposal. Some of these are listed below although some are generic and, as the new website progresses, we will make them more compatible with the life of our own parish.

Please do reach out and enquire about how you can become involved in our Parish life. Our faith journey is so much more rewarding when shared with others.

Faith is not a light which scatters all our darkness, but a lamp which guides our steps in the night and suffices for the journey.

Welcomers

Welcomers provide an important friendly face as people arrive at Mass, helping them with hymn books and Mass books and answering queries that they may have. If you would like to be a welcomer, please talk to one of the clergy or a welcomer themselves.
