Charity Clothes box

Thank you for all the contributions to the charity clothes box, it has already needed to be emptied.  Please keep up the great work and support this great charitable work

Please continue to pray for peace.

During the two rather “rocky” weeks through Eastertime, there were some horrific images once again come from the Middle East.  With major threats to not just that area but could have swelled into something much more catastrophic worldwide.  As these images continue to make headline news around the world, please continue in your prayers for a halt to this senseless violence, and that God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, will foster love into the lives of those in conflict with one another.

Never underestimate the power of prayer.

 Weekday Mass

I would like to encourage you, if you are able, to join us for weekday masses on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Frday at St Joseph’s, Mossley.  I always think that beginning the day with holy Mass is a great way to begin any day.  Why not think about it and come along to join us?

A Reminder – The Wednesday Word

The Wednesday WORD is a resource for you to use at home. The idea is that you spend some time working through the readings for the following Sunday, it is put together by a Jesuit priest who will lead you through the readings as well as giving insights into the readings.

See the buton on the top of this page .
