provides information about Deanery-wide activity. Most of the parishes
and schools within the deanery have excellent websites of their own, and you
will find links to them in these pages.
We are always very interested to hear your

An Advent Prayer:
Lord Jesus, Master of both the light and the darkness, send your
Holy Spirit upon our preparations for Christmas. We who have so much
to do seek quiet spaces to hear your voice each day. We who are
anxious over many things look forward to your coming among us. We
who are blessed in so many ways long for the complete joy of your
kingdom. We whose hearts are heavy seek the joy of your presence. We
are your people, walking in darkness, yet seeking the light. To you
we say, "Come Lord Jesus!"
Amen.
