NEWS FROM OUR PARISHES

VISITATION OF BISHOP STEPHEN

On Sunday 3^rd 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.
