Parish Groups


Participation

All communities thrive on the active participation of the people in it. A rich community arises because of the diversity of its participants and St Joseph's is no exception. We encourage as many people as possible to participate in the community of St Joseph's and many people do this through the Parish Groups.

Each Parish Group reflects an essential area of parish life, and relies on participation for its health and livelihood. Some of the groups reflect our shared faith, but others reflect our family and social life. All the groups welcome additional participants in their activities.

At St Joseph's we recognise that all parishioners have different talents and motivations. We also know that different people have different amounts of time available due to their other commitments, whether family, work or leisure. The Parish Groups are committed to accommodating all parishioners in their activities whether:

  • you want to help organise a Parish Group
  • you want to be involved only occasionally
  • you are an expert
  • you are not an expert
  • you just want to be more involved in the parish in some way, or meet more people
  • you want to be kept informed

To become involved:

  • Contact any of the Parish Groups OR
  • Return a web Feedback form OR
  • Contact any Parish Council member

You can be sure of a warm welcome, however large or small your involvement becomes.
