Meet our community: this is what we do
After each mass, our community has dinner together, following what Christ taught us with the breaking of bread. We also have fun together. For example, we watched the Eurovision Song contest together and went bowling. Hopefully we’ll have more such nice activities to come.
But of course, we also roll up our sleeves when the Church needs help. Many people help the pastoral team when a Church clean up day is organized.
