Impact Chaplain
Fr Paul Swarbrick (2010 - )
Fr Bernard Woods (1998 - )
We now have 2 Impact Chaplains as Fr Bernard has moved to Barrow so will not be able to help out as much.
We, the Impact Youth Group, work with CAFOD on various projects & support the work of the Diocese of Lancaster Catholic Youth Service.
