We will publish a prayer each week to support this wonderful appeal, this week is “STAND UP AND SMILE” to protect children with cleft-lip and club foot. “As we begin this season of Lent, we offer up the merits of our daily sacrifices to the needs of the most vulnerable in society. We offer them especially for the poor, the lonely and the unborn, that the Lord will see their needs and pour out His love and blessing upon them.” Lord hear us. St Boniface RC Primary school Nursery have extended their application deadline to 30th. April 2021 for September 2021 places. 1 Please see the school website or call the office. CONFIRMATION. Following discussions with the bishop’s secretary it has been agreed that our young parishioners will receive the sacrament of Confirmation on Sunday May 30th. 2021 during the 10.45am mass. Final details will be agreed nearer this date, and we will notify all concerned of the arrangement for the lessons to recommence. Safety procedures while attending St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. • Parishioners who wish to attend masses/services must register with the parish secretary, Fergus Keogh, on 07970157922 and by completing a form available at the entrance on your arrival, and renewed every 4 weeks, but please in the first instance, call the number and register the mass you will be attending. Always sanitise your hands before entering and leaving the church. • All over the aged 11 and all adults MUST wear face masks. • The number of parishioners permitted to attend services will be 22, this will vary as we apply allowances laid down by the government. • Parking will be restricted at weekends to disabled drivers, those who drive disabled parishioners and parents with very young children who have prebooked the services. • All toilet facilities will be closed, if you believe you have a valid reason why you should be allowed access speak to the parish priest or secretary, you will be expected to thoroughly clean the toilet after use. • Safety signs must be adhered to for the benefit of all attending St. Josephs. • The church adheres to TRACK and TRACE and expects its parishioners to also do so. • To avoid delays at the exit area please have your donations to the church collections ready and place them in the basket, delays in this area cause problems with social distancing. We have been informed, with great sadness, of the death of Guy Roberts, who with his wife Jacqueline were staunch supporters of our church and parish. Guys funeral service will be at St.Joseph’s on Tuesday 6th. April commencing at 12pm followed by burial at Garth Road cemetery at 2pm. After discussion with the family we will inform parishioners of the arrangements for attendance at the funeral. We will inform you of any further news in the meantime please pray for Guy, may he rest in peace and pray to Mother Mary that she will comfort Jacqueline and her family. PARISHIONERS HOSPITALISED. In these troubled times it is vitally important that we are informed of all parishioners who are admitted to hospital. Please remember to telephone or email us as soon as possible making sure that you give your name and contact details and the name of the person admitted, do not be too concerned if you are unable to remember the name of the ward, we can find that, again please do not delay tell us as soon as the parishioner is admitted. All numbers are in the news-letter make sure you take two, one for your wallet/ handbag and one for home to have next to the telephone. We visited an elderly parishioner this week to make sure they were alright only to be told by the husband that his wife was in hospital but was due to come home two days later. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WISH TO AVOID. Fr Agnelo is one of the priests who is on duty at various days and times at St. Georges so there cannot be any excuse why we were not informed. Please2 do not take chances and inform us. 3.
