The Parish has a Social and Community at each church which meet most months. The groups organise the Summer and Christmas fairs as well as other entertainment. They also help to manage the running and upkeep of the Churches and Parish centre.

If you are interested in getting involved, please along to the meetings that are advertised on the Newsletter

The Society is a lay organisation initially formed in Paris in 1833 by Frederic Ozanam and his companions, and active in England & Wales since 1844. Placed under the Patronage of St Vincent de Paul, it is inspired by his thinking and works. It seeks, in the spirit of justice and charity, to help those who are suffering poverty in whatever form.

The work of the SVP falls into two main areas: membership activity and Special Works.

The main work of the volunteer members is to befriend and assist individuals and families in need on a person-to-person basis, through visits to domestic residences, care homes, hospitals, prisons and other institutions. In England & Wales , around 10,000 volunteer members in 1,100 mainly parish-based groups make more than half a million visits each year to vulnerable people in their communities.

In addition to member visits, the Society also operates a number of "Special Works", which seek to serve people in a wider area or give more specialised help in a certain aspect of the work. These Special Works currently include holiday schemes, children's summer camps, furniture stores, community shops, support centres, soup runs, residential care, deaf clubs, debt counselling, community transport and asylum care. Direct support and financial assistance is also provided to people in need overseas through its international network of volunteers and the SVP Disaster Fund.

Founded by students in 1833, the SVP today runs an active programme of youth development in parishes, schools and universities.

The SVP meet every Tuesday at 9.30 in the Parish room

St Luke's UCM was founded on 9th April 1948 Betty Brierley joined in 1952 and was President from 1987 to 2001 when Pat Ellicott took over as President. In 2001 Betty was awarded the Bene Merente from the Pope for services to the Church and the UCM. The UCM supports different charities each year. In 2003 they gave £500 to the Drop in Centre at Salford Cathedral towards an oven. In 2004 they contributed to a Hydrotherapy Pool at St Joseph's retreat Centre at Freshfield where there is a home for the disabled. In 2005 through CAFOD paid for 2 cows and 2 water pumps in Africa.

At the moment Fr. Joseph is trying to provide a special needs teacher in all schools in his area. These children are not given any special tuition and leave school without being able to read or write. Fr. Joseph has to find the money to pay for these teachers. 

He is hoping to visit us later in the summer so will update us with what he is doing.
