The parish has been in membership of TCC since 1995.
TCC is made up of thirty two groups across North East Wales, largely faith based,
from a range of denominations, the Wrexham Mosque, schools, including St Joseph’s
and St Richard Gwyn, a disability group and Flintshire Friends of the Earth. TCC
works on issues that are of concern to its member groups. Working this way strengthens
community and the democratic process. TCC also offers training courses in Community
Organising, which is what Barack Obama is famous for before he became a lawyer and
then ran for president.
