Appointments to school governing bodies are made by the archbishop, through the Southwark Diocesan Education Commission. Only a small number are appointed to each school, so vacancies do not arise often. If you are interested in becoming a Catholic school governor, please discuss this initially with Fr Michael.

Parishioners who are unable to come to the church because of longterm illness or infirmity are still able to receive the Eucharist regularly, thanks to the services of a few of our Eucharistic Ministers.
