The parish covers the area of Nelson and Stoke under the patronage of the Holy Family: Joseph, Mary and Jesus. The family with the youth as the domestic church is the locus of our ministry to build a community committed to Christ.
This is our community, our family, our parish!
​
We envision our community to be committed to Jesus, our Saviour. This is everyone's journey.
​
We want you to be part of this journey.
Please register to be included in the list of parishioners.
​
As a family, we will journey with you and together we will discover the joy of being a community of Jesus.
Faith Formation Courses for 2023
Biblical Walk Through the Mass
The words, the gestures, and the rituals of the Mass are rich in meaning. A Biblical Walk Through the Mass explores the extraordinary biblical roots of the Liturgy and reveals what it all means and why it all matters.
​
For those who registered,
Note: the study sets have not arrived. The sessions will commence upon availability.
Thank you very much for the participants who underwent this formation course. A big thank you to the facilitators as well. It has been a process of discovering what a church could be like and the beautiful encounter with Jesus and with brothers and sisters.
​
Alpha will be offered again next year.
