Prayer Groups
In St Joseph’s, and across the Parish, there are a number of Prayer Groups that meet regularly.
OUR LADY OF LOURDES PRAYER GROUP.
They are open to using the gifts of the Holy Spirit,
including the ministry of healing and intercessory
prayer. The weekly meetings take place in the home
of one of the group members
CORNERSTONE This was founded out of St
Joseph’s Church some years ago and formed part of the
on-going adult formation programme which is also
ecumenical with fellow Christians attending from local
churches. CORNERSTONE offers a series of talks in the
course of any year which are speaker led on topical
issues of interest to Christians. The venue is
normally St Joseph’s Day Chapel beginning around 7.45pm
and finishing by 9.30pm. Further details of the
CORNERSTONE programme are published in the Parish
Newsletter and Events Sheet.
SHARING THE WORD. This is a
voluntary group that meet most Tuesday evenings
throughout the year from 7.30 – 9.30pm to reflect on the
Mass Readings for the following Sunday. The
meeting is normally facilitated and a time of Reflection
helping people to prepare to read the Word of God when
they come to Mass on the following Sunday. Anyone
is most welcome to come along when their diary permits.
