NOTICES
RETIRING COLLECTION: The weekend collection for LEPRA raised £457.96. Thank you.
COMMUNION WINE: As of this Sunday parishioners at St Joseph’s will have the opportunity to participate in the taking of wine (the Blood of Christ) at Sunday Mass. The wine will be distributed in “individual” goblet containers. Our Kiveton church has been doing this for a few months and has come up with a process that is safe for all. We will be explaining this process in more detail nearer the time but please be assured that the Reflection Group have discussed this issue in great detail and is agreed that we can now safely bring back the wine into our Mass.
MISSION BOXES: Please couild you bring your red mission boxes to either church over the next few weeks for collecting. Thank you.
