Help
We are very short of Welcomers for 10am Mass on Sundays. The task of the Welcomer is to come 15 minutes before Mass, hand out the bulletin, help people to be seated and clear up afterwards. It is necessary to have Welcomers for each of the Masses and so I hope we can get the 10 - 12 people we need. If you are interested please see Father McGrorry as soon as possible.
Housework or Gardening?
Sometimes I am asked by parishioners if I know anyone in the Parish who would be willing to do some gardening or housework for them (paid). It would be helpful to know if anyone would be happy to consider this type of work and I could put them in touch with those who ask.
St Joseph's Primary School

Please continue to bring unwanted textiles to the school (including shoes, bags, belts, etc.) as we will be having another uplift before the end of this term.
Tesco Vouchers
St Joseph's Primary School is again taking part in Tesco Vouchers for School initiative. We appreciate your support in the past, which has enabled us to obtain some fantastic Maths resources. Please hand in unwanted vouchers to the school or drop them into the collection box at the back of the Church. Many thanks.
