St. Joseph's Catholic Church

Following the Deanery of North Staffordshire Parish visitation report published July 2023 there have been some changes made to the mass times and places. Therefore, we continue to ensure we are developing the your child’s journey in faith, we will be attending mass at the Sacred Heart, Catholic Church, Tunstall every two weeks on a Thursday morning, and whole school mass in the school hall monthly throughout the school year. Father George will celebrate mass both in church and at school.

We would like to thank Fr. Matthew for all the support he has given the staff and children at St. Peter's. We would like to thank him especially for guiding our young children especially within their Sacramental preparation.

We wish him well in his new Parish Sacred Heart Hanley.

Academic Year 2022-2023

Congratulations to the children of Yr 3 who made their First Holy Communion at St. Joseph’s Church on the 11th June. May God bless you on your journey in faith.

We would like to thank and recognise the support of Churchill China who through the work of Mrs Kilgariff in Year 6 are now working closely with St. Joseph’s food bank and have donated 6 boxes of food during just the month of April.

As a school staff and community we collect food items and deliver to the parish food bank regularly. If you would like to make any donations please feel free to bring them into school.

Thank you

The children in reception when visiting the Church were able to drop off donations to the Parish food bank that have been donated by the staff at St. Peter’s this week.

We have welcomed Janet and Teresa again from our Parish of St. Joseph’s for mental health week, where the theme has been “Let’s connect” alongside the children they created clay pots which they took away with them for the church

We would like to thank Janet from the Parish of St. Joseph’s in Burslem for coming into school again to speak with the children about the church and what she does to prepare the Church.

Family mass was celebrated at St. Joseph’s Church with the children lighting the advent wreath, forming and singing in the choir as well as taking part in the offertory

We were very proud and grateful for the generosity of our families this harvest. We were able to support our Parish Food bank with many donations this year.
