Message from Fr Mark
As I continue into my 21st year as a priest in the Clifton Diocese, I thank Bishop Bosco for this new opportunity and appointment to be parish priest and to look after St Mary’s and St Michael’s. I am looking forward to being a pilgrim of hope alongside you and getting to know both communities over the coming years and building on the work of Fr Dominic and his predecessors began. Together may we have the vision, energy and faithfulness in prayer and rise to the challenge to bring new life to our communities. I am ready to serve you with joy in my heart - please keep me in your prayers. Pax et bonum
