Parish News and Announcements  

Thank you from St. Joseph’s School

As part of our Jubilee Year Pledge, every Friday the children sold ice lollies in school to raise money for charities chosen by our Mini Vinnies. This pledge involves a long-term commitment to living out Catholic Social Teaching and building a fairer world for everyone.  The children understand that by making the Jubilee Pledge, our school community has been encouraged to be agents of change and contribute to building a more just and fairer world. 

 

The children have raised over £200 and some of the charities which have received donations from our school are The Cheesy Waffles Project, St. Cuthberts Care and Choose Love.  We would like to say a huge thank you to the parishioners who have made donations to support our fundraising efforts.

Thank you!

As we come to the end of another academic year, we just want to take this opportunity to thank all our parishioners for their continuous support across the year including helping us celebrate St. Godric’s day Mass and in your role as parish sponsors for our Year 4 children.  We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful school and parish relationship, and we look forward to this continuing next year.
