Until further notice, there will be no public Sunday and Weekday masses. At the direction of the Bishop, all churches will be closed all day with effect from 24 March 2020 until further notice.

During these days when it may not be possible to attend mass or receive Holy Communion, there is an ancient custom, to make an act of spiritual communion. The following can be said at home on Sundays at home and during the week:

"My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most blessed sacrament. I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul. I can’t now receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you, as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you Amen."

Parish Mission Statement:

The current Catholic church of St. Joseph The Worker was consecrated by the Right Reverend, Patrick J Casey, Bishop of Brentwood, on Friday 30 April 1976.

Adjacent to the church there is an excellent Catholic Primary School.

The Parish is renowned for being a loving, caring community.
