The Parish of St. Anne and St. Joseph is a relatively new amalgamation of two beautiful churches which envelops a strong and dedicated congregation. Father Stamp is the Parish Priest as well as Rural Dean of St John Vianney Deanery. He is helped by retired priest, Father Livesey who has been integral in the success of the amalgamation process.
As a school, the staff and pupils regularly participate in Mass at St. Anne’s Church which is a short walk from the school. Our families attend both churches and support events throughout the year, including the Christmas and Summer Fairs and other fundraising events.
Father Stamp St Anne's Church and Presbytery Garden of Our Lady
Since lockdown began, Father Stamp has been sending weekly emails to parishioners who have signed up to receive them. These have been a comforting and informative way of staying connected with our parish as well as being able to share the guidelines needed in order to re-open our beautiful churches.
Many parishioners have been unable to attend Mass or Private Prayer since the re-opening and so the regular contact from Father has been invaluable and much appreciated.
