Parish News and Announcements  

Welcome back schools’ staff and pupils. I hope you all had a good rest over the summer break. Always a challenge starting up again, but good to have you back. “Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall” F. Scott Fitzgerald.


 Next Sunday, 15th September, is the re-arranged date for the International Meal.


I’m afraid I’m hitting a brick wall (excuse the pun) getting any satisfactory responses on the protracted road closure linking Mill Lane and Sherburn Road. Building Regulations appear to support private enterprise, regardless of safety, and not to mention huge inconvenience. Please be careful if you have to drive via Frank Street, as there are quite a few young families there, whose children will be unfamiliar with an increased volume of traffic. Please be careful also with the restricted public path use on both Mill Lane and Sherburn Road. And a final word of apology to the families of children attending St. Joseph’s School. Sadly, this intrusion is our lot for at least a year.

 

Please note the International Meal scheduled for after Mass at St Joseph's on Sunday 8th September has been moved to Sunday 15th September.


 

Heritage Open Days 2024


St. Godric’s is again involved in the national Heritage Open Days this year.

Being able to welcome visitors to our beautiful listed building, to explain a little of our history and give them an opportunity to look, learn and enjoy in a friendly atmosphere is always a wonderful  experience.

The Steering Committee at St. Godric’s are appealing across the whole parish to ask for any-one who has a little time to spare to help keep the church occupied during our opening  - even an half  hour would be an enormous help! 

If you are able to provide refreshments ( similar to a Sunday morning) that would be wonderful! 

If you can help, please contact Kathleen Murray 07759130837 or Joe Hughes 07814461446. 


THANK YOU in advance!
