Masses & Services this Week [Sundays: Yr B, Weekdays: Yr 1]

Wales has now moved to level-0 in the covid-19 regulations. The seating arrangements have now been altered to allow more people to attend. Please be aware of the following:

• face covering mandatory
• sanitise hands upon entry and exit
• booking is still in place – best time is Thursday or Friday morning or via e-mail
• the Sunday obligation is still lifted for the time being (probably until the First Sunday of Advent) so feel free to attend a weekday Mass – particularly if you are vulnerable as these Masses are usually quieter
• the stewards will welcome you and show you where to sit, not randomly as we need to respect each person’s needs and safety

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).

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]
