Mass of Thanksgiving - 24th June - 6:30pm - St Josephs Church
Mass of Thanksgiving – 24th June – 6:30pm – St Josephs Church

Over the past few weeks, I have been reaching out personally to many of our parishioners with an invitation to our Mass of Thanksgiving. However, this invitation is extended to everyone in our parish community. Your presence truly matters and I sincerely hope that you will be able to join us and give us the opportunity to thank you personally for your generosity, support and commitment to the life of our parish. Following Mass, we will gather for refreshments in the Presbytery Gardens, weather permitting. If the weather is unfavourable, the gathering will take place in the School Hall. If you are able, we would be very grateful if you could bring a plate of nibbles or snacks to share. However, your presence alone is the greatest gift and is far more important than anything you might bring. Sandwiches, sausage rolls, wine and some drinks will be provided. When we gather in the Garden, we do have a few things planned (Please see Deacon Mark’s note). Wilhelmina and llda will play some Violin Pieces as well. With grateful thanks, Fr Inna

First Holy Communion Mass
First Holy Communion Mass

Last Saturday, we had the great joy of celebrating the First Holy Communion of our children. It was a beautiful occasion and it was truly moving to see them come forward to receive the Eucharist with such reverence and faith. Everything was very well organised and thoughtfully prepared. We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to making this celebration so special. A heartfelt thank you goes to our catechists and teachers, who faithfully prepared the children throughout the year for this important milestone in their faith journey. We would also like to thank our parishioners who kindly organised and served the refreshments after Mass, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere where families and friends could gather and celebrate together. Fr Inna
