National Youth Sunday
Sunday 22nd November , the Feast of Christ the King, the Church in England and Wales celebrates National Youth Sunday. On this day, we celebrate the young people in our parish and community and all the gifts and talents they share with us. The theme for this year's NYS is 'Together'. Normally on NYS, young people would be involved in the Liturgy. Whilst the Parish Community can't be together physically as we were, we are united together in prayer. This weekend especially, we pray for the young people of our Parish.

LOCKDOWN STARTING 5TH NOVEMBER 2020
The country will be going into lockdown again from 5th November until 2nd December inclusive. This mean that we will not be having any public celebrations of Mass during this time - we will however have the church open on Sunday mornings between 9am and 12 noon for private prayer.
Fr John would like to convey his gratitude to all those volunteers who have given their time so generously in order to keep the church open and COVID-19 secure during this difficult times.
Fr John will continue to celebrate Mass daily and to pray for the parish family.
We look forward to being able to be re-united in prayer as soon as the restrictions are lifted and it is considered safe to do so.
Boris Johnson visits St Joseph's Catholic Primary School and The Sacred Heart of Mary Girls' School, Upminster Monday 10th August 2020
On Monday 10th August the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, visited St Joseph's School. He was welcomed by Mrs Bernadette Matthews, headteacher. He came to see for himself the measures that have been put in place for the re-opening of the school in September. The Head took him on a tour of the school and he was pleased to see that everything is in place. He asked many questions and from them it is obvious he is concerned about the children's safety and welfare. He thanked Mrs Matthews for all she and the staff are doing to protect the children and for all the time and dedication that they have shown. The Prime Minister also visited Sacred Heart of Mary Girls' School where Ms Qurrey the Headteacher showed him the Summer Camp that has been running throughout the summer in action.
