Christmas Sparkle

Parisioners under the guidance of Liz White have created the dazzling array of Christmas wreaths shown below. Thank you all for adding such colour to this most unusual Christmas.

Below are some of the the ways in which we have contributed to the 264 mile pilgrimage to Walsingham>

Round the Island walk

A group of parishioners and friends added miles to our pilgrimage by walking around the Portland coastal path. A ten-mile treck over sometimes difficult terrain was quite a challenge, especially when you consider that at least half of the team are over 70.
If you would like sponser us, please visit our JustGiving page.

The whole team at the half-way point – Portland Bill

Leading by example

Liz and Bernard White braved what look like challenging conditions to add miles to the Walsingham virtual pilgrimage challenge.

Mary and Jim set the ball rolling

Mary and Jim Wetherill, ably assisted by granddaughter Felicity, gave the Wool to Walsingham Virtual Pilgrimage a good start by cycling from Wareham to Lulworth together – 9 miles. Mary and Jim then continued to Wool before returning to Wareham – a total of 25 miles. Each mile contributes towards the pilgrmage total distance of 264 miles.

Parishioners at St Joseph’s were among the first to congratulate Mary and Jim Parsons on the occasion of their Diamond Wedding anniversary. After Mass, Fr. Tim presented them with a framed blessing from the Pope. They were accompanied by Mary’s guide dog Wesley who has now become a regular attendee at Mass.

After the service, the couple celebrated with a glass of prosecco and a fine spread (including a cake!).

This is the start of a week of celebrations for Mary and Jim who will be welcoming family members from the other side of the world.

Congratulations!
