Care Calls and Home Communion
Our Care Calls phone team checks in with those who are unable to attend church regularly to offer a listening presence and ensure a continuing connection to parish life.
A home communion visit may also be requested.
A weekly reflective liturgy is made available for those worshipping at home.

Healing Eucharist
We believe in God’s love toward all God has made and recognise that healing wisdom is present in medical science, cohesive community, healthy relationships and our faith.
As part of this quiet eucharist we listen to stories from those who have encountered God’s love in pastoral, nourishing and healing ways.
6pm, first Wednesday of the month Feb - Dec.
End of Life Anointing
End of Life Anointing is available to individuals who are nearing death offering reassurance of God’s presence and grace in life’s final journey.
This rite may include conversation with the dying person if they are able, the reading of familiar scripture and prayers of comfort, anointing with oil as a symbol of release from suffering and reconciliation in God and commendation of the individual to God’s continuing care. If the individual is able, Holy Communion may be requested.
Contact us to arrange a visit.
