The Parish values which we as parishioners uphold should be based on the Word of God, the teachings of the Church and our Ampleforth Benedictine heritage. Specifically, we should be a community :

in which prayer and worship are at the centre of our lives, which is welcoming and open to all, which is forgiving and is not judgemental which is open to change, led by the Holy Spirit, in which we all share responsibility for the mission of the church, in which we each use our gifts for the benefit of everyone, in which the spirit and joy of the Good News is visibly present in all our actions, in which we respect and value each individual, in which we foster the unity of the Christian churches and the building of good relations with people of other faiths.
