Thank you Little Joe's

In this Year of St Joseph we want to thank all those in our parish and community who day-in and day-out give of themselves, their talents and their passion, in such hidden and often unseen ways. A few years ago, some parishioners saw that there was a need in the local community for a clothes club where people can share children and babies’ clothes. Clean clothes are donated to Little Joe’s and sorted and distributed to lots of grateful parents! This service has carried on throughout this time of Covid, and the parish are so grateful to Veronica and Karen who have shown such dedication and care. Parishioners have written of their joy at this wonderful work of service, this true work of mercy, which has brought together volunteers and donors from across the whole community. Here are some of the things that people have said:
