Parish News and Announcements  

Pope Francis has announced that 2025 will be a year of Jubilee, and the theme is “Pilgrims of Hope”.  It will be a year of pilgrimage and prayer, celebration and reconciliation and we’ll be opening the Jubilee Year in our Diocese with celebrations at our 2 Jubilee Hub Churches on Sunday 29th December. Bishop Stephen will be celebrating Mass and opening the Holy Door at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Newcastle at 11.30am and at St. Joseph’s Hartlepool at 4.00pm. Everyone is welcome. There’s more information about the Jubilee Year on the Diocesan website at https://www.bit.ly/DHNjubilee2025.

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated satsumas for our parish Christingle. We look forward to welcoming children and families NEXT SUNDAY 15th December at St Joseph's church 3pm to make a Christingle and join us for prayers. All welcome!



Huge thanks to all who contributed to the Fayre.


The amazing amount of £860 was raised from both the Tombola and Raffle. We have also had a generous donation of £100 from the Jolly Dollies at Durham Working Men’s Club. Therefore a total of £960 will be shared between Sanctuary 21 and local charities.
