The CELEBRATE Online Conference 27th – 28th June 2020

Our events have always been for the whole family – and the online conference is no different. Hear from inspiring speakers, take time to prayerfully retreat, get creative, join with live worship and celebrate Mass together. 

All the content over the weekend will be hosted on our CELEBRATE Facebook page so make sure you ‘Like’ and ‘Follow’ us to not miss anything.

If you have friends, family or members of your parish who might like to take part then why not invite them along and send them the details – all are welcome!

St Joseph’s Online Groups

Throughout lockdown, many St Joseph’s parishioners have been meeting online to keep in touch spiritually.

These groups will continue to meet over the next few months, some weekly and others fortnightly. Please do join us – we would love to see you there!

We have three different Bible study groups which meet fortnightly on Thursdays at 11am and 8pm, and Fridays at 10.30am. Please choose one group at the time that suits you best. Our prayer groups are unique and the Rosary groups pray different mysteries each day so you can attend each day if you wish.

All groups meet online using Zoom video conferencing, with new meeting IDs and passwords issued before each meeting. For further information about the online groups and details on using the Zoom code, please contact Anne D’Silva on [email protected]

Video Message to Catechumens and Candidates

This Sunday 7th June 2020, Archbishop John Wilson was due to come to our parish and confer the Sacrament of Confirmation on some 33 of our young people.  Sadly, because of the current global situation, this has had to be deferred, as everyone is aware.  Archbishop John recorded a special very well-timed message to all the Catechumens and Candidates, people who had been preparing for the Sacraments of Initiation or to be received in to the Church during the Easter season. During the Pentecost Sunday Mass Homily he spoke particularly to them, but also made a short video for all affected:

Please remember our young people, their catechists and parents, our clergy, and also Archbishop John himself.  We very much look forward to welcoming him to St Joseph’s in the future!
