Knights of St Columba (KSC)

The Knights of St Columba Council 983 St Teresa's, was inaugurated on the 2 October 2016. It comprises 6 brothers at present, but is always looking for more members to join. KSC began in Glasgow Scotland in 1919; the name is in honour of St Columba, a Christian missionary from Ireland who helped to introduce Christianity to Northern Britain. KSC was formed to support the mission and doctrine of the Catholic Church and at the same time to work for the spiritual and the material good of its members and their families. The Order follows the social teachings of the Catholic Church and works for the moral and social welfare of our communities and in particular to help the development of young people. Its members, more than 4,000 in over 300 councils across England, Scotland and Wales, strive to do this through Charity Unity and Fraternity. Membership is limited to Practicing Catholic men 16 or older.

Legion of Mary

The Legion was founded in Dublin Ireland in September 1921 by Frank Duff. It is a lay Catholic organisation, whose members have weekly meetings where prayer and the Rosary are interspersed with reports and discussions. The object of the Legion is active co-operation in the work of Our Lady and the Church and to be of service to the Parish. It meets  every Tuesday at 7.30 pm in the Pastoral Centre.

Parish Council

The Parish Council exists to help the Parish Priest carry out his pastoral ministry to the  Parish Community. It is to help him identify, understand, and respond to the spiritual needs of parishioners. At regular intervals, Parishioners will be given the opportunity to offer their services  as members of the Council.
