Feast of St Joseph
On Sunday 22 March we invite all parishioners to join us as we mark the Feast of St Joseph, patron of our parish. The celebration will begin with 11am Mass, followed by a get-together in the School Hall from 12 noon. This event will be a wonderful opportunity to enjoy an afternoon of fun and community, celebrating the diverse international cultures within our parish.
PARTICIPATION
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.

“What is the Lord Calling Us to Be and Do?
St Joseph's Engaging with the Synodal Vision”
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.
Mass Times
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.
