On behalf of the parishioners I welcome you to this website and our Parish Group. The Longford group is a bible based, prayer focussed, faith driven, servant hearted group of disciples of Jesus Christ.
On this website you will find out what is going on and what you can be involved in. If you are local or new to the area you are most welcome to join us.

Our focus is to seek and serve the living God through active relationship and faithful living in response to Gods invitation of love to come follow him.
The parish group seeks to provide faithful witness of God through relationship and fellowship, bible study and persistent prayer. The parish groups daily commitment is to pray for our communities, neighbours and local needs and to devote ourselves to listening to God’s guidance through scripture and seek ways to serve in God’s kingdom as the Lord guides.
