Parish News and Announcements  

There is a Lego prayer station set up in the porch of St Joseph’s Church. All our children and young people (and young at heart!) are invited to place a brick of Lego on the baseboard as they pray for their intention. Please do not remove other bricks as these are someone's prayers. If you wish you can write your name or your intention on the sheet next to it so others can join you in praying. Let’s see what we build together as we talk to God.










 

 

There will be a retiring collection at the end of all masses this weekend (15th/16th March) for The Confirmation Group's Retreat and we appreciate any support parishioners are able to offer.


Please note that there will be a youth-led Mass on Sunday 23rd March at St. Joseph's at 10:30am. Our Young people will be reading the Mass readings and writing and reading the Bidding prayers.


There will also be e a youth-led Stations of the Cross, on Good Friday in St. Joseph’s at 10.00am which will be young-child friendly and we hope to see lots of families there.



 

Thank you all who contributed to such a wonderful event last Sunday. The International Meal was everything it should be. The dishes were of a rich variety representing the cultures of those who so generously cooked them. The costumes of some of these cultures were delightful in their colours and designs. A special thanks to all who organised this now regular event.


An interesting evening at St Godric’s on Tuesday evening with slides and an exceptional memory for someone to recite St. John’s Gospel for over an hour, interspersed with stunning violin playing. Again, thanks to those who organised.


Some interest has been shown for a parish pilgrimage to Lourdes.


Here’s to a great evening of dancing at our Parish ceilidh this Saturday.
