Our Partnership
A partnership is a group of parishes agreeing to work together to share resources, both human and material, to become stronger and better equipped for furthering the Kingdom of God. They offer our Diocese unlimited potential as we seek to ensure viable and flourishing communities of people who want to deepen their commitment to Jesus and witness to him in our world.
St Michael's is now in Partnership with St. Leonards Church in Silksworth and The Holy Rosary and Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Farringdon.
