One of the key architectural features of the renovated St Joseph’s is the ceiling consisting of coffers with uplighting. This innovation was undertaken so as to match the classical architectural features of the outside of the church, something that had been lacking in the interior. Share post Follow us

World Mission Sunday
Today, Mission Sunday, is a day for widening our horizons beyond the confines of our own parish, diocese or country. It is a day for thinking about the faith that we share and the people with whom we share it worldwide. It is a day for praying for and supporting all who share the gospel message, and especially for those people who cross boundaries of geography, culture, language and lifestyle to proclaim the message of Jesus and to invite people into friendship with him.
Many if not most of the communities gathered to worship today across the world are much poorer that we are, at least in terms of money and material possession. That is why we contribute what we can on Mission Sunday. Our purpose is to help our brothers and sisters in the poorer parts of the world to provide what their own very limited resources cannot afford – decent simple church buildings, good training and adequate accommodation for their leaders – catechists, priests, seminarians, religious sisters – transport to bring them to remote places, modest stipends to provide them with the basics for living.
The mission of the Church is to bring Jesus and his message of life, love and liberation to all humankind.
