V-GOANIZZ is organizing their 6th Annual Christmas Carol Singing on 21st Dec. 2025, at the Punjabi Community Centre, Kembrey Park SN2 7BB at 2pm onwards. This is a free event open to everyone, and we warmly invite you to join us!

Come and show your support for our talented children as they perform beautiful carols in celebration of the birth of Christ. Bring your family and friends, and let’s come together in the spirit of joy and community.

This is an important message to families in our parish, concerning any sick and housebound that need the parish priest to visit and administer the sacrament of the sick. Please call or email the Parish Office as soon as possible. It is better not left till the last minute.

In view of the plan to build the Holy Family Church Hall, the finance committee members have decided that donations to the church will henceforth be directed to the church hall funding unless the donor advises otherwise. Thank you for every support so far.

A warm invitation to all the vibrant youth of our parish to join the Holy Family Youth Group. Those who are interested please contact the Parish Office.

A very big thank you to all the volunteers in our parish community. We  cannot thank you enough for the gift of your time and talents. However, we are mindful that our parish priest and the entire pastoral team have the duty of care over our staff and over those who volunteer to support us in any way. We have carefully discerned that some are beginning to be burdened by their voluntary services. Recently, we have received a good number of brilliant recommendations in the suggestion box; part of it being the need to make some changes and to relieve some volunteers of their duties. Therefore, without prejudice to the excellent services of our volunteers, we invite anyone who wish to be relieved of their duties in the parish, especially those in the finance and pastoral committees of the parish to inform our parish priest as soon as possible. We do hope that any decision taken in this regard will rightly be understood as having been carefully made with prayer and discernment.
