Tuesday 17 February is Shrove Tuesday. No pancakes this year sadly, but we have the next best thing – the St Vincent de Paul Society will be serving tea, coffee and cakes in the First Committee Room from 9:30am until 12 noon. All are welcome, do come along and see this year’s fabulous selection of cakes.
In 2021, Pope Francis launched the “Synod on Synodality,” offering the global Church an opportunity to engage collectively in a dialogue about its life and mission. The process commenced with group meetings at local parishes and progressed to two Synods (October 2023 and 2024) held in Rome.
A "Final Document" was produced by the Second Synod in October 2024 and subsequently incorporated into the Church’s teachings by Pope Francis.
Our next talk takes place on Wednesday 4th March at St Teresa's Church in Beaconsfield (HP9 2PL).
ASH WEDNESDAY falls on 18 February and is the first day of the season of Lent. It is a day of fasting and abstinence. There will be Mass with distribution of ashes in St Joseph’s Church at 7am, 9am and 7:30pm.
Weekday morning Masses are 7am in the Oratory and 9am in St Joseph’s Church. Masses and services taking place at St Joseph's Church are broadcast via our live stream.
The Parish Office is manned three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays by volunteers, see times below:
If you want to get a Mass Card, arrange a Mass, add someone to the Bidding Prayers, book an appointment, make an enquiry, collect forms/letters and so forth, someone will be on hand at the reception desk during these times to help you.
St Joseph's is providing a live online streaming service. The area within the church that is streamed is shown above. If you are within this area then it will be possible to see you over the internet.

Our parish relies on each and every one of us to thrive and do God’s work. Whatever your age or situation, we need your time and skills to make a difference. Whether you have time to give weekly, monthly or on an ad-hoc basis, we do need you.
Where there is no love, put love and you will draw out love.
