Justice and Peace and Pastoral Care
CAFOD
St Anthony’s has been actively involved in justice and peace work for many years. We raise funds and awareness of the needs of people throughout the world who experience injustice in various forms.
Some parishioners are also involved in local activity with people in need. A small number of people in the parish lead this activity and the parish supports the needs with great generosity.

Parish Visiting Team
Our team of volunteers visits parishioners who are no longer able to come to church because of poor health, disability and other reasons. They are visited in their own homes in hospital or in nursing homes or residential care.
Holy Communion is taken to people by request. The aim is to help them feel part of the Parish and to help alleviate loneliness.
