Next weekend (1st/2nd November) will be ‘Bottles Sunday’ and we hope everyone can bring a contribution (no matter how small) for our Drinks/Bottles Stall. All contributions will be gratefully received.

 

Our parish and community groups will all be represented on the day and we look forward both to spending time together and to supporting some of our local charities who will also be in attendance.

 

To make this day a success we really need your help, not only to come along but to help with preparations and clear-up. Please contact Cynthia (cdunn2112@sky.com) or Erica (e.smith47@outlook.com) if you are able to help.


Thank you for your support.  Also, please spread the word Santa will be attending and looks forward to meeting children in the community Ho! Ho! Ho!

Our annual Memorial Sunday Mass will take place on Sunday 23rd November at St. Joseph's at 3.00pm.   All families of deceased parishioners who have been bereaved during the past year will receive a personal invitation from Fr. Colm to come along and light a candle in remembrance of their loved ones.   Fr. Colm will light three larger candles (one for St. Joseph’s, one for St. Godric’s, and one for St. Bede’s Chapel) which represent the deceased members of the wider parish and our families and friends.  These will be lit at every Mass until Christmas. Please come along to the Mass and join us for seasonal refreshments in the Jubilee Room afterwards.  Everyone welcome.
