Parish News and Announcements  

We had a wonderful and joyful celebration on Tuesday 5th May when 44 young people received the Sacrament of Confirmation from Bishop Stephen Wright, followed by a celebration buffet in the Jubilee Room.


Many thanks to Sarah and Ciaran for their leadership and encouragement over the past weeks and months culminating in a very special evening.  Thanks also to all the helpers who provided the buffet, set and cleared the tables, not forgetting the clearing and washing up.


We warmly congratulate all the young people who received the Sacrament of Confirmation. It was a truly special occasion, and we celebrate this important step in your faith journey. We pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to guide and inspire you, and that you will remain active members of our parish community, growing in faith and sharing your gifts with others.


We would love to hear from you as you continue your journey within the parish. If you have any ideas about what you would like to see in parish life, whether that be events such as a family fun day or other activities you would enjoy getting involved in, please do email Sarah. Your voice is important, and we look forward to building a vibrant parish community together.

 

St. Godric’s Choir

The St. Godric's Choir is looking to recruit new members, especially female voices. Come and join our small friendly choir, with minimal commitment. We rehearse, briefly, before and after Mass each Sunday, with occasional longer rehearsals in the lead up to Easter, Christmas and concerts. Speak to any choir member if you would like to find out more. Thank you

 

Wednesday morning refreshments at St Joseph’s Church

Refreshments are normally served after the 10am Mass on Wednesday mornings until approximately 12.00. Everyone is welcome so please join us for tea/coffee, cake and a chat if you possibly can.
