Altar Servers The Guild of St Stephen
Children’s Altar Server Ministry, is a beautiful tradition shared across our St John’s and St Joseph’s communities. This special ministry invites our young people to step into the heart of the liturgy, serving the Lord at His altar with reverence and joy. It is a wonderful opportunity for children to grow deeper in their faith, discover the beauty of the Mass, and become actively involved in the life of our parish family.
If your child feels called to serve, we would love to welcome them. Please contact the Parish Office to find out more.

                Extraordinary Eucharistic Minister
As Christians, we are all called to love and serve God’s people. Becoming an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion is a profound way to live out this calling, sharing the very heart of our faith with others. In this beautiful ministry, you may be asked to distribute Holy Communion at Mass, but your care will also reach far beyond the church walls. By visiting the sick and housebound, you bring Christ's comforting presence directly to them, offering a gentle reminder that they remain deeply cherished and never forgotten by their parish family.

        Church cleaning and Gardening assistants
This vital ministry serves as the very heart of our daily hospitality, ensuring everyone who steps through our doors feels deeply valued and at home. By reflecting Christ’s grace, we strive to show our parish in the best possible light, offering a warm, genuine invitation to both curious newcomers and our faithful, regular parishioners alike.

                                 Children's Liturgy
Children's Liturgy invites our youngest parishioners to encounter the Catholic faith in a warm, relaxed environment. Through the Sunday readings, gentle discussion, and fun, interactive activities, we help the seeds of faith begin to grow. It is a beautiful way for children to know God’s love. If you would like your child to join the team then please contact the parish office

                             Hospitality Usher
An usher is responsible for welcoming and assisting parishioners before and during Mass. This includes directing people to their seats, handing out bulletins order of service and hymn books, answering any questions that people may have. The role of the usher is one of hospitality and warm welcome as they are the first point of contact for many people who are visiting the church.

                                   Music Ministry
Our music ministry is built up from our talented choristers who lead the congregation in the singing of hymns and other liturgical music during Mass. The role of the chorister is to help create a sense of unity and participation among the congregation during the Mass. Musicians are also needed to share their talent God has given them.
