ROSARY CIRCLE FOR PRIESTLY VOCATIONS:- Given the not insignificant decline in priestly vocations and to encourage us all to pray for such vocations, we will begin a ‘Rosary Circle’ next month. This is a very simple spiritual exercise many of us could join in with at least 20 people praying one decade of the Rosary each day, so the whole of the Rosary is prayed for this particular intention, thus creating a circle. Each month a new ‘Rosary Circle Chart’ would be on the church noticeboard consisting of the 20 decades of the Rosary and a number of columns for people to put their initial or a tick in the box to indicate they
will pray the particular decade each day.
To keep this spiritual exercise in our minds and hearts, the first Sunday of each month would be a ‘sign up’ weekend, when people can recommit to this by 'signing up again' or indeed take up this prayerful activity. Let it be said, however, that anyone can join the Rosary Circles at any time. Details of how to be involved will be along side the ‘sign up’ chart on the noticeboard.

Save the date!!! Eddie Hopkins’ ordination has been pencilled in for June 22nd at Arundel Cathedral at 2.30pm. Gustavo Campanello will also be ordained at the same Mass. Nearer the time we will arrange a lift sharing system as parking in Arundel is tricky at the best of times!!  Eddie will be saying Mass at St Joseph’s on Sunday 30th June, this day will also be our annual Parish celebration. More details to follow.

Sunday Liturgy for Children at 10 am Mass: We have developed a new, exciting programme for the children. From creation to salvation, we will explore epic stories, amazing people, and the incredible work of God in both Old and New Testaments. The Liturgy for children will take place at the 10am Mass on Sundays fortnightly. They are for children aged 4– 9 who are able to join in unaccompanied. To enable your child to attend a consent form MUST be completed for each child. You will only need to do this once. The forms will then be used to compile a register of children which you will sign as and when your child attends. The forms are on lilac paper at either end of the church and can be returned to the office once completed. The form will also be on the parish website but will still need to be printed and filled in.
