Our vision will be realised by co-operative effort aimed to establish and maintain the Centre as a place of:

welcome where people can obtain information on the range of daily, weekly and special services at St Francis' Church and other city churches, on activities at the Pastoral Centre, and on crisis and other social services

hospitality where people can receive a friendly welcome and feel at home

activity where groups can gather for meetings, talks, exhibitions, recitals, concerts, etc.

education where groups and individuals can, by way of lectures, courses, discussions, displays, access to current journals, publications, audio and video tapes, obtain explicit formation in faith and a continuing education relating to current thought and action in the Church and the wider community

quiet where people can obtain a measure of "quiet" needed as a consequence of personal crisis or whatever

care where people in distress or in other immediate need can receive the care needed to restore peace and calm in their lives

encouragement where people, who for whatever reason, are finding the going tough. This is, offered in the form of counselling or just simply friendly, encouraging words, to assist them "on their pilgrim way"

meeting where people from all walks of life and all sections of the community can come, be welcomed with dignity and meet with each other; where people can socialise after Mass or their prayer time at St Francis'

co-operation where people from all parts of the religious and wider community of St Francis' can work collaboratively and with a shared vision to extend the prayer and worship of St Francis' Church into pastoral activity.
