We approach the time for school applications, which require a Certificate of Catholic Practice issued by the parish clergy. Please note that this certificate can only be issued to those families who attend Sunday mass on a regular basis - this is the meaning of being a "practising catholic". As such, if a person/family are not known to the parish clergy as being regular at mass a certificate will not be issued. Families should also note that, just because "granny attends mass every week" does not fulfil the criteria for the issuing of a certificate.

Registration will take place on Sunday 7th October, 3pm in the hut behind the presbytery. Please bring £20 and a copy of your child's baptism certificate if NOT baptised at St Joseph's. If you can't make this date it is most important that you speak directly with Father Paul as this will be the only opportunity to register.
