Parish News and Announcements  
  • Nov 29, 2024

Every child from our three primary schools have been and are decorating an angel each for the parish Christmas trees. They are for parishioners and visitors to write the name of a loved one, and, we will pray for all those Heavenly angels throughout this season of Christmas, as they will be brought forward and placed on the Christmas trees.

 

The Christmas angels will be in  Church from 7th December.

Sadly, we find ourselves having to inform you of recent acts of vandalism and antisocial behaviour that have affected both the school and church properties. Over the past few weeks several incidents have occurred, and these actions have caused both financial strain and a disruption to the children’s learning environment. At St Joseph’s, we strive to provide a safe, welcoming and inspiring space for all our children and families. Unfortunately, repairing this damage will require us to divert funds and resources from activities and resources that benefit the children. Both school and church are working closely with local authorities to investigate these incidents and to mitigate against further issues. Additionally, we kindly ask for your assistance. If you notice any suspicious activity, please do not hesitate to contact us or the relevant authorities. Thank you for your continued support and for helping us foster a sense of respect and pride in our community.
