The Parish recognises the importance of developing its relationships with Christian and other Faiths and the local community in general.
We participate in the Churches Together in Hemel Hempstead organisation which itself promotes a strong ecumenical presence in the town
Our parishioners are particularly involved with the running of and support for the shelter and day centre for the homeless: Dacorum Emergency Night Shelter ( D.E.N.S.)
Members of the
parish join with other Churches and organisations in the Good Friday
Procession of Witness, a very visual event in the town centre
We support Pray Hemel - a monthly (first Saturday morning of the month) group which meets at a different Church each month to pray for the town and community and to get to know each other better
In 2003 our parish hosted a major ecumenical event: the Pentecost Celebration, on 'the Moor' (i.e. Boxmoor)
We provide hospital
visitors and the Knights of St Columba and the Catholic Women's League are
regularly involved in community activities
Our parish centre is very popular and well used by various groups within the local community
We welcome new opportunities to increase our involvement with ecumenical activities in the area
