In light of the recent government guidance putting the country back into a full national lockdown it has been decided to reduce the hours that the prebytery is open. It's hoped that by minimising contact we will be able to continue providing the same service to you all going forward. Rachel will be in the office on Monday and Wednesday mornings between 9am and 12.30pm. The mass booking system will operate in the same way through the parish website and you will continue to receive emailed confirmation of bookings on Wednesday mornings. Please feel free to email any other enquiries outside of these hours and we will reply as soon as possible.
St. Joseph’s 40 Day Lenten Challenge
It is over a year since our world changed forever and we faced challenges as never before. As we remember all those who have lost loved ones during the pandemic and those who suffer because of it we pray for a future full of hope for all people. Let us celebrate the coming of Spring and the joy of Easter and remember the ideals of Live Simply as a guide during Lent.
As the winter becomes a distant memory and the sun begins to shine more brightly, warming the Earth, we rejoice in the beauty of creation and the promise of the Resurrection.
This reflection covers the 40 days of Lent. Choose one a day and take up our Lenten Challenge
Before reading this reflection make an Easter Garden at home to remind you of the Easter story.
Some of you may wish to play some background music of your choice to accompany the reflection. Beautiful reflective music can be found at
