St. Edward’s Parish Groups and Ministries offer us a variety of ways to learn and grow as an individual within the Catholic Church and in relation to the wider Christian and secular community.
Many of these groups and ministries are linked to the liturgy, serving within the physical church or out amongst the community. They may offer us a chance to spend time alone in prayer or in groups with God, or deal with the practical, day-to-day running of the parish. Other ministries care for the education of children and adults, helping to deepen our faith within the Church; however our groups also offer the young of our Parish opportunities to meet, play and enjoy time with others, away from the formality of faith education and worship. Groups run within the parish may be part of larger Catholic organisations, such as the Union of Catholic Mothers, or CAFOD, or offer people the opportunity to work with other Christian organisations, such as Kettering Street Pastors or Churches Together.
We welcome new members to all our activities and hope that you will share in the daily life of our Parish and explore what our groups and ministries could mean to you. To find out more, follow links on the side menu or talk to Canon John or Fr. Pius.
If you are part of a parish group that isn’t listed in our index; would like to expand your group information; or add a Parish Webpage, please contact the Webmaster and we will arrange to include your details.
