WALKING WITH CHRIST TO CALVARY
Approximately 30 people joined us from across the parishes and area, walking from St Joseph's, Blaydon to St Anne's, Winlaton, to remember and walk with Christ on his journey to Calvary.
"I love you Jesus, my love above all things. I repent with my whole heart for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me what you will."
VISITATION OF BISHOP STEPHEN
On Sunday 3rd November Bishop Stephen Wright visited the parishes of St Anne, Winlaton and St Joseph, Blaydon.
Bishop Stephen celebrated the two Masses and spoke of the great love that God has for each of us. He spoke too of his own faith journey and revealed that he thinks the best job in the world is that of a Parish Priest. Do keep that in mind for your next career choice!!
After each of the Masses he was able to join the parish coffee mornings and indulged in the pies and cakes at St Joseph’s.
This was his third visit to St Joseph’s – Confirmations in July and for a meeting with the clergy in June. He commented that he had been well fed on each of his visits.
Bishop Stephen will return to our parishes to complete the visitation in May when he will join the communities of St Joseph, Highfield and Our Lady of Lourdes, Chopwell.
