Catholic Life in the Parish
When we talk about St Joseph's Church we are talking not just about the physical building but more importantly, about the active Catholic community within Epsom. The parish currently has an average Sunday Mass attendance of more than a thousand people.
While the church building is the focal point of our Catholic celebrations, it is the different church activities by the extended catholic family, involving both the parish team and the laity which contribute significantly to both the spiritual, emotional and physical well-being of the families in our community.
St Joseph's Church is a large and active parish performing a wide variety of different functions supporting all the different aspects of parish life. The parish team is assisted by the Parish Groups who are responsible for co-ordinating these activities.
From these pages it can be seen that parish life in St Joseph's Church embraces many different aspects but with particular emphasis on achieving the following objectives:-
- Promotion of family values and family life
- Religious instruction and moral development of the young
- Preparation for the sacraments
- Training and development in matters relating to theology,
scripture and catechetics
- Development of a sense of community and belonging among all members of our parish family.
