A Poem
Do our friends admire us for virtures they suppose
Do they think us kind and loving? Only Jesus knows
We can be cold and selfish, and often go astray
Jesus knows us through and through and LOVES US ANYWAY.
His love will mould and change us until one happy day
We actually become the ones he planned. HOORAY.

Here is the SACRED HEART EVENTS CALENDAR for the next few months, and here are the Archived Newsletters.
Pentecost Sunday is known as the Birthday of the Church when the gift of the Holy Spirit gave the Apostles the courage to go and preach the Good News of the Gospel. The Paschal candle is removed from the Sanctuary and is only brought out for Baptisms and Funerals. This marks the end of the Easter season and we go into Ordinary time until the end of November.
ST JOSEPH’S CHURCH WILL CELEBRATE THE CENTENARY OF ITS OPENING ON

ST JOSEPH’S CHURCH is 100 years old in April and we would like to celebrate this historic date sometime during the year and are appealing for photographs or any other memorabilia of either St Thomas’ or St Joseph’s Church. IF YOU CAN HELP PLEASE SEE CAROL HOWARD.
