No Children's Liturgy this weekend

Children's Liturgy is cancelled this week due to Mass being part of the Y4 children's Sacrament of First Holy Communion preparation at both Sunday Masses.

Youth Group Camping Trip

What a weekend! Our parish youth group turned one and we definitely celebrated the event.

The children were ready for adventure when they all took part in tree climbing and crate stacking. They really challenged themselves and we were so proud of them.

We had a beautiful evening of prayer, followed by S'mores around the campfire and the children created some very colourful artwork for the Care in Creation group's displays.

This morning, Fr Colm arrived and we celebrated Mass under the trees, surrounded by nature and friends.

We are so grateful for the support of our parish and wider community for helping us to make our first year a success.

For any young people aged 7-15 who would like to join us, we usually meet on the last Saturday of the month straight after 5pm Mass at St Joseph's. All are welcome 😊
