Volunteer with us
There are many practical and administrative jobs which have to be done to keep our social groups and parish running smoothly. Whatever your skills please consider offering a little of your time. All volunteers are covered by our safeguarding policy.
If you have any questions about volunteering, or suggestions on how you can use your skills, please contact the parish administrator stjohn.melton@dioceseofnottingham.uk
Current opportunities
Parish choir
The Parish has a small but thriving choir and a couple of organists who play at our two churches. We sing at the 10.30 Mass each Sunday and have singers who lead the singing at the 6pm and 9am Masses. We are also able to sing with the organ at the 6pm Mass once a month and occasionally on Tuesday morning. We also sing at other events during the year. The choir is always open to welcome new members who wish to join. Choir practice is 6.15pm every Thursday at the Convent Chapel. We are a friendly and fun bunch who enjoy bringing music to the liturgy, please feel free to just come and say hello.
For more information please contact Mary marybppc@gmail.com

Anyone can support us: it’s not just for Catholics. We run all the events which raise money towards building the hall and we can tell you there is FUN in FUNdraising! Concerts, talks, Christmas Wreath Festival, Open Gardens and many more. Join the team, help build a community and make new friends. We need you!

We need Grants and you can help
You don’t need to be a member of our congregation. You can even do it from a distance. All you need is an armchair and a tablet, a laptop or a desktop, and you can search online to find new grants for which we are eligible. You don’t have to apply for them yourself -although if you can, that’s great, but just finding them and checking our eligibility will be an enormous help to our Grants group. We’ll give you an online virtual hug!

Looking to turn your concern for the less fortunate in our community into ACTION?
If so, then the St. Vincent de Paul Society (SVP) could be the answer to your prayers!
We are the friendly local branch of an international Christian voluntary organisation dedicated to tackling poverty in all its forms. The essence of our work focusses on befriending vulnerable or isolated people across our community and offering them both friendship and practical support.
Whilst our founder St Vincent de Paul was Catholic, you don't have to be to join us. The time commitment is flexible too. Perfect!
To find out more please contact the SVP at svpmeltonmowbray@outlook.com or 07376954917
Silver Circle
