2nd Week of Lent, Year B
O God, nourish us inwardly by your word, that with spiritual sight made pure we may rejoice to behold your glory.
Quote of the Week
“There is nothing in death or life ... in the forces of the universe, in heights or depths - nothing in creation that can separate us from the love of God.”

Making A Donation to the Parish
Obviously, the combination of lockdowns and fewer people being able to attend our public Masses has meant much less being given to our parish. The work that the parish does, and the costs involved, remain the same. If you would like to help us by donating online you can do so via our
Saint Joseph’s Parish Just Giving Page (click/tap to go there).

Pope Francis’ Prayer Intention for February 2021
Violence Against Women We pray for women who are victims of violence, that they may be protected by society and have their sufferings considered and heeded.
Bible Study
Our weekly Bible Study will obviously NOT take place at the present time. Even so, the Bible remains a treasure that can give us what we need. The readings for 3rd Sunday of Lent are:
- Exodus ch 20 vs 1-17
- Psalm 18 (19 in most Bibles)
- 1 Corinthians ch 2 vs 22-25
- John ch 2 vs 13-25
These readings can be most easily found in an ordinary Sunday Missal.
Parish Pastoral Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
Dear Parishioners and all people of goodwill, this is a most difficult time and it tries our faith and our Christian friendship. With the threat of coronavirus and aware of the vulnerability of some of our parishioners, of course all of us as human beings are delicate and vulnerable to risks that come our way. I am suggesting that if the crisis worsens, let us identify people who may need our prompt response. Take a phone number, know the address, enquire from a family member so that in case of a worse case scenario we are able to offer material support, hope and words of closeness to those who may remain at home - a telephone conversion is a pastoral response. Or we can use Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram to keep up-to-date. I am appealing for volunteers for this. I know we have wonderful people. We can share information but be careful not to create unnecessary fear or panic. Do not be afraid, Jesus always reminds us, he is with us... [read more]
