At the heart of our ministry for young people is the weekly youth group for anyone who is in secondary school (Year 8+). We meet every Monday during term-time for games, input and small group discussions. This youth group is open to all, no matter if a young person is passionate about their faith or not even sure what they believe. Being a part of our youth group helps a young person to decide and prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Occasionally, we organise off-site Sunday socials and weekend retreats which are usually the young people’s highlights of the year.

theASCENT is a three year discipleship process for Catholic young people in years 10-13 who want to embrace their faith in Jesus Christ at a whole new level and learn how to share it with others. This is an ideal next-step after receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation to really grow as a disciple of Christ. If you are in Year 10 and want to enquire about our next cohort then please sign up, we’d love to have you on board.

The Rosary is a powerful prayer and our Rosary group meets to pray for the intentions and needs of our parish community. We meet in-person after the 9am Mass on Fridays and our online Rosary takes place at noon every day..

Calling all men looking to grow in their faith and encourage other men to do the same. Our group is for men aged 18 and over who are practising their faith. In our group sessions we pray for each other and our families, receive teaching and leadership training, discuss our challenges and look for ways to serve the needs of the parish. We meet twice a month at 7pm on Wednesdays and will be running five men's events across the year which will be open to all.

At St Elizabeth’s we want everyone to be known by name and to be cared for. In addition to coming together as a parish for Sunday Mass, we encourage all our parishioners to meet together twice a month in smaller house groups. These groups are opportunities to pray and grow together, to share joys and sorrows, and to receive the support of God’s love mediated to us through the other members of the group.

At St Elizabeth's, we firmly believe that parents are the best educators of their children in the ways of faith. Our Family of Faith process is designed for parents with children in primary school (years 2-6) with activities suited to different ages and abilities. This forms part of a child’s preparation for First Confession and receiving Holy Communion for the first time. We currently meet twice a month on a Sunday after the parish 9am Mass.

Catholicism 101 is a small group for people who want to explore the basic tenets of the Catholic faith. It is for anyone aged 18-35 and ideal for anyone who may be thinking of joining the Church. We meet fortnightly and start by sharing a meal followed by a talk and discussion on the week’s topic. It is a very relaxed and open environment where no question is off the table. Some of our sessions are the same every year while others are prepared in response to the questions asked by those taking part.

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to ask life’s big questions. What is my purpose? What happens when I die? Why is there suffering? ‍Alpha is a chance to ask these questions and explore the Christian faith in a fun, no-pressure environment. Each session includes a short film and a discussion where you can chat through your thoughts and questions with a small group of people just like you. Oh - and we feed you as well!
