On behalf of parishioners and visitors to St Josephs, I thank all who generously gave of their time to ensure the Easter Ceremonies were celebrated worthily: the people who prepared the Church, those involved in the music field and other liturgical ministries. I also thank our Deacon James Kerr and Fr John McKinnon who assisted us during this special week. We continue to remember James as he prepares for his Ordination (Friday, 6th September). (Fr John)
