1.The Prayer Chain

There are three different chains: a morning, afternoon and evening group of parishioners who receive confidential prayer requests and immediately pray for that intention and pass the request on to someone else on the list. (Des MacDonald or Connie Knezovich)

2.Sewing group

A group of ladies who sew, knit and crochet for the underprivileged. We also make items, cook preserves and bake cakes to be sold on various crafts tables in order to raise funds to finance other projects like the cook-ins, pensioners, sandwiches for a farm school and flowers for the bereaved. We also sew robes for the altar servers, Extra-ordinary Ministers of the Eucharist and the First Communion children.(Lynne Sandham)

3.Cook-in

The ladies used to prepare meals in their own homes and deliver them to families in need. In 1993 it was decided to get together at the different homes and have some fellowship and laughter while cooking these meals. The cook-ins now take place in the parish kitchen. A few ladies spend their morning preparing them, ready to be delivered as the need arises. (Kathy Carew)

4.Hospital visiting

Since 1993 the sick at Olivedale Clinic are visited every week. Management has now decided not to make patients religious affiliations available so we can only visit those patients who have made contact with the church and let us know that are in the hospital. The patients at the Wilgeheuwel hospital are still visited regularly, offering them comfort and prayer. (Felicity O'Donnell)

5.Home visiting

The Care Group tries to visit at private homes whenever we hear of a need, be it bereavement, new baby, illness, new parishioner or just for tea and fellowship. (Marion Castle)

6.Funeral teas

these are catered for on a voluntary basis for our deceased parishioners. (Bridie Kelly)

7.Kingsway School sandwiches

Every Thursday the children are given a sandwich, which the Care Group makes and delivers. (Lynne Sandham)

8.Safari dinner

An annual dinner where one has the opportunity of meeting fellow parishioners. (Trudy Thompson)

9.Senior Citizens Lunch

Each year the seniors of the parish are invited to a lunch where a delicious three course meal is served and they are entertained. Lifts are organised for those that cannot get to the church. What a lovely way to meet and socialise with friends.
