The Year of St Joseph & the Family

March 2021 – 2022

“Although it may not be frequently mentioned, St Joseph is a Principal Patron of our Diocese. We have the year to remind ourselves of the important role of St Joseph in the history of our Faith and his example to us in his role as a protector and guardian of Mary and the child Jesus. In the secular age in which we live, we have a special need to “protect” the sense of Faith and all that it can provide for our world when we put gospel values into action to establish peace, the dignity of every human being, the sanctity of life from conception to its natural end and to eradicate poverty and suffering."

“We marked his goodness for many years in this Diocese particularly in what was known as “St Joseph’s Penny”, a collection for the poor and the needy, which became a foundation of the present valuable work of Caritas and its wide range of projects and programmes for those most in need in our towns and cities."

“In this Diocese we will mark The Year of St Joseph and the Family together from 19^th March 2021 – 19^th March 2022."

“St Joseph, pray for us.”

Bishop John Arnold

The Blessing UK

At this unique and challenging time in the United Kingdom over 65 churches and movements, representing hundreds of others, have come together online to sing a blessing over our land.  Standing together as one, our desire is that this song will fill you with hope and encourage you.  But the church is not simply singing a blessing, each day we're looking to practically be a blessing.  Many of the churches included in this song have assisted with supplying over 400,000 meals to the most vulnerable and isolated in our nation since COVID-19 lockdown began.  This alongside phone calls to the isolated, pharmacy delivery drops and hot meals to the NHS frontline hospital staff.

Chaplains

The new Chaplains attended a training day at All Saints' Hight School, where they were taught lots of new ways in how we can worship God through art.
