anything new to see?

A couple of new links have been added to the site. Firstly, you’ll now find a link to St. Joseph’s Primary School on the Local Links page. Also, our Pilgrimage Trust group have a website with a large photo gallery, and a link to it is now on the Social Care Groups page along with a little bit of information about them.

The groups of the parish now have their own section of the website. If you’re looking for a way to get a little bit more involved - or even just want to get to know a few more people - have a look at these pages. If you already belong to one of the groups listed, and you’re able to supply a nice photo to go along with the text, it will be gratefully received. Websites definitely need pictures!

Finally, for a bit more background to this Sunday’s readings, go to the Magazine page. To read today’s gospel (i.e. the one you will hear if you manage to get to mass) go to the Gospel page. Remember what Saint Jerome said all the way back in the 4th century, ‘Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.’ Both of these pages will do a little to help avoid that.
