Thought from Fr. Colm - 23rd November 2025

We celebrate our annual Memorial Sunday Mass of Remembrance this Sunday afternoon at 3.00pm in St. Joseph’s.

Families who have been bereaved during the past year will be lighting candles for their loved ones.  It is an opportunity to be amongst other parishioners who also suffered bereavement during the year.

Fr. Colm will light three larger candles – one for St. Joseph’s, one for St. Godric’s and one for St. Bede’s Chapel – which will be lit at every Mass until Christmas.  These represent deceased members of the wider parish and our families and friends,

All are welcome, and please do join us in the Jubilee Room afterwards for seasonal refreshments.

Next Saturday morning (29^th), we have our Parish Community Christmas Fayre from 10.30am-12.30pm.  Once again we have been overwhelmed at the generosity of parishioners who very kindly responded to our requests for items over the past few weeks.

Please do join us and see the amazing stalls manned by various external and parish groups, not forgetting Santa’s Grotto!
