The Parishioner is a blog collated by St. Mary’s Church, Ash Vale. It is our parish magazine, previously printed and delivered to every residence in our parish. This year we have made the difficult decision to reduce the number of printed issues.
We still intend to print and deliver one or two issues per year for special occasions, but the rest of the time we will publish content on this blog.
