We are a community made up of all sorts of people - different ages and backgrounds, who together try to live out our Christian vocation by the way we live and by praying and worshipping together.  You are most welcome to join us for our regular celebrations of the Eucharist.  You will find a very warm and inclusive parish community in which you will easily find a spiritual home.

Each day will be built around Mass, and the children/young people will be taking part in a variety of faith-related activities as well as plenty of fun, games and a day trip.

Our Lady’s Homestead in Nympsfield is a peaceful and safe location, and the camps promise to be a spiritual and fun two weeks. If you have any queries at all about the weeks or how they are run, please do not hesitate to get in contact with
