Activities

The strength of a parish lies not just in coming together to worship at Mass but also in the way its parishioners interact as a community in the widest sense of the word.

	Pre-Confirmation Trip to the Briars: Some of the young parishioners at St Anthony’s went on a preparation trip!
	Social & Fundraising Group: Formed after our Mission and the building of our Parish Centre initially to raise building costs but becoming increasingly important for its function in bringing groups of parishioners together to work on the staging of events and for developing our parish community through joining in social events. Group Co-ordinator, Treasurer and 200 Club organiser, Paul Wilkinson. Social events, Margaret Bell.
	Parish Magazine: Distinct from our weekly newsletters ‘TWIGLETS’ our magazine is produced seasonally and gives parishioners the opportunity to write of their experiences and travels, express opinions, write poetry, share humorous tales, read about progress being made as a result of our aid to Albania - and even includes a section written for, and by, young people. Production staff are; John White, Bryan Sills and Fr. Keith. Official photographer Peter Jowitt and Editor Emma Caille.
	Justice and Peace Group: A group of parishioners who liaise with our Diocesan Justice and Peace Officer and introduce topical issues to our congregation. Current emphasis is on supporting campaigns for the reduction of Third World Debt. Contact people are John Greenland and Annabel Kingsbury.

Many "one-off" activities occur from time to time. In recent years we have undertaken Prish Pilgrimages to Lourdes, Rome and the Holy Land and we have organised a week-long Parish Mission. More recently an "Alpha" course has been held and this is being followed up by a series of Catholic Faith Exploration (CaFE) Sessions.
