We offer occasional Parish At Learning (PAL) sessions in the chapel following the morning Eucharist (usually between September and May). All parishioners are invited to the sessions that begin at 11.15 am and end no later than 12.30 pm.
PAL hours are a project in Adult Education with a variety of presenters. The central purpose is to raise awareness about some of the social issues of our day and ministries provided by our diocese. The sessions also give some of our members a chance to speak about the about the work they do during the week.
