St. Joseph the Worker is an active and caring community, with many group activities serving Parish needs.
The Parish enjoys the benefit of the Church Hall, which hosts a number of social events during the year, details of which will be found in the weekly newsletter.
Friendship
Our Friendship Group meets on the 1st and 3rd Friday every month between 2.00 p.m. and 4.00 p.m. in the parish hall. All are welcome. This group is open to all ages.
We are always open to any suggestions of what you would like to see happening at these afternoon sessions. Why not pop in for a cup of tea and a chat? You will be made very welcome.
To enquire further please email Mary Lockwood, our Parish Administrator.
Cubs, Scouts and Guides
Since 1973 3rd Hutton (St. Joseph's) Scout Group has prepared young people with skills for life. We meet in sections on Monday nights called Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, and Scouts - aged from 6 to 14½ years old - led by trained volunteer Section leaders.
Church Hall hire
The church hall is a great asset for the parish and provides a welcoming space for parishioners to meet and mingle after Mass. Tea, coffee and biscuits provided!
The hall is also available to hire for celebrating Baptisms, First Holy Communions, Conformations as well as occasional fund raising social gatherings. To enquire please email our Parish Administrator.
Repository
Run by Mandy, we have a huge range of Catholic gifts for every occasion. If you’re looking for Crucifixes, Crosses, Rosaries or Candles, we have them in stock. We have greeting cards and gifts for Baptisms, First Holy Communions and Confirmations, together with cards for all occasions such as Prayer cards, Mass cards and Sympathy cards.
This facility is open after each and every Mass at the back of the church.
If there are any special items you require, please email Mary.
RCIA
Ever thought of becoming a Catholic? We welcome enquiries from everyone. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process in which newcomers are welcomed into the life of the Church.
If you would like to know more about what is involved in becoming a Catholic then please make an appointment to see Fr. Leslie. In the first instance please email Mary Lockwood, our Parish Administrator.
Gods Housekeepers
In many ways, volunteers are the fuel that runs our church. Not only do we need volunteers to get stuff done, but volunteering is a way members of the church can fulfil their calling. Please consider volunteering for the many jobs that need doing to help the church run efficiently such as cleaning inside and outside the church, watering plants, perhaps help with flower arranging, washing of the altar linen etc.
If you can help at all, please contact our Parish Administrator. We need your help. Please!
