ST.JOSEPH'S CATHOLIC CHURCH, HAYLE:

St Joseph's Church in Hayle is part of the Roman Catholic Parish of the Holy Family. Father Philip said the Sunday Mass on Saturday at 6.30pm the third week of Lent (C2 Psalter 3) the Year of Mercy/Working for the Judgement Day.

Next weekend is Laetare & Mothering Sunday.

Gaudete cake stall at Masses in Penzance and for parish funds in Hayle.

Try to make a good Lent by perhaps making time for an additional Mass during the week or Stations of the Cross on Fridays at 10.30am or spend time with the Lord before the Blessed Sacrament, available in all churches at some time.

Hayle hall update: formal quotes have now been received for this necessary work. This is a ‘build to budget' project using funds specifically allocated for that building within the parish. The competitive quotes have come in slightly higher than the architect anticipated, mainly due to the demolition and disposal costs which have risen since planning started last year. Therefore there is a shortfall of approximately £10k

Bishop Mark has asked all parish churches in the diocese to have exposition from 7 to 8.30pm with time for Reconciliation (confessions) each Tuesday of Lent in Penzance.

This week's Friday Mass is at 10am in St.Josephs Hayle.
