Blessed Edmund Duke Parish
''Whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those of the family of faith''
Galatians 6:10
Our parish is enriched by a wide range of activities that support the spiritual life of our community, strengthen bonds of fellowship, and express our faith in service to others.
Rooted in prayer and the Eucharist, these opportunities help parishioners to grow in their relationship with Christ and to share His love both within the parish and beyond it. We seek to serve the local community and contribute to the wider mission of the Catholic Church.
All are welcome to take part and share in the life and mission of our parish.
Our week-to-week activities are also detailed in our weekly newsletter.
