About This Week's Mass

SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY – YEAR C Book - Volume 2

14TH-15TH JUNE 2025 – Parish Mass Book Page number 81

FATHER’S DAY REFLECTION: SUNDAY 15TH JUNE

In honour of Father’s Day, as we celebrate fathers worldwide, we turn our hearts to God, the ultimate Father from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named. The love of our heavenly Father is profoundly expressed in the Scriptures: “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are” (1 John 3:1, ESV). This divine love is astonishing and humbling.

Pope’s Prayer Intention for June

That the world might grow in compassion. Let us pray that each one of us may find consolation in a personal relationship with Jesus and, from his Heart, learn to have compassion on the world.

Please Pray

For the Sick and Housebound of St Joseph’s Parish: Clare Gray, Anne Wiseman, Anne-Marie Elder and Elizabeth Docker. We include all those in hospitals, nursing homes & their own homes. Our Lady, health of the sick, pray for them. Amen.
For those on the anniversary of their death: Maureen Flaugh, Jan Majdansk, Patricia Rooney and Nina Pereria Nunes.
For those celebrating their Wedding Anniversary: Alice and Simon Kirby and Sheila and Greville Sheringham.

SECOND COLLECTION THIS SUNDAY

This Trinity Sunday, the Church in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, jointly marks the Day for Life, as a reminder of the need to respect and protect the inherent value and dignity of each life. All of you are invited to join us in prayer and promotion of the Day.

The second collection today goes toward the Day for Life Fund. Every year, the fund allocates over £200,000 in grants, to organisations that which promote the Christian respect for life from conception to natural death, in various ways. This has made a significant impact in local communities of England and Wales, by for example, providing mothers and children with necessary means. This is possible only because of your generous support to the fund, we therefore invite you to give as much as you can and encourage others to do so.
