St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Lancaster – St Joseph’s parish comprises the northern side of the River Lune at Lancaster, taking in Ryelands, Skerton, Beaumont, and Halton. We are a small community where you will receive a warm welcome.
Usually at this time of the Year we celebrate the Appleby Fair, but this year it has been postponed because of Covid. But in this Year dedicated to St Joseph, we wanted to celebrate a special Mass for the Travelling community and anyone else who would like to come. St Joseph spent much of his life with the holy family, travelling from Nazareth to Bethlehem, from Bethlehem to Egypt, from Egypt to Nazareth, and from Nazareth to Jerusalem on many occasions, and he also would have travelled for his work. His life reminds us that we are all just passing through this world, and that Heaven is our homeland. In this Mass we will pray for the Travelling community, for their protection, and for Heaven’s blessing upon them.
