We are blessed by all four churches having excellent hall facilities. St Josephs is only for use by parish groups now, however the three halls of St Pius X, St Mary's and St Edward's provide excellent facilites that are available for hire by both parishioners, the community and commercial users.

There is a well equipped kitchen and a folding partition which enables the hall to hold dual activities. To use the hall or to book it, please contact the Parish office.
