We are a Catholic community brought together by God's love under the pastoral care of the Discalced Carmelites. Our baptism calls us to respond to that love by following Christ and serving our neighbour.    

Our parish is blessed with six Carmelite priests and a welcoming and friendly Parish Office team.
