Need Help? A small team of volunteers has formed to keep in touch with those who are isolated at home as a precaution or due to illness.

The team can deliver essential groceries, drop off/collect prescriptions at surgeries and pharmacies, and post mail as well as have a friendly chat on the phone.

Please contact Pete Graham (07505 355559) or Kevin Powell (07770 611488) if you need help from the team, or if you would like to help.

The numbers attending our Masses on Sundays is increasing, and we are still trying to maintain social distancing so that every one feels safe in church. So that stewards do not have to turn away people when the church is full, we are asking everyone to register for Sunday Masses from the 11th April onward. There are several ways you can register:

• You can register with the Stewards at Masses the previous Sunday, or during the week
• You can register on-line on this web site (select "Information" and then "Book for Mass")
• You can e-mail your requirements to the Parish (stjosephs.upton@gmail.com)
• You can telephone Carmel Calvert (678 7019)

If your plans change after you have registered, and you will not be attending Mass, please let us know so that your place can be allocated to someone else.

Registering is not required for weekday Masses.

All Masses will continue to be live-streamed.

Boxes of offertory envelopes for 2021-22 are available at the back of church for those who normally receive them.

Please click here for information on the options available if you wish to change your existing arrangements.

For those Parishioners who are not attending Mass and normally give in the collection, to continue to help the Parish in these difficult times, you can now give on line, either as a one off payment or as a regular monthly payment, by clicking here. Please note that the minimum amount that can be donated is £5.

Local and National Public Health restrictions have been increased given the high numbers of infections and patients in hospital. It is vital that we all play our part.

• If you have, or someone you have been in close contact with, develop Covid-19 symptoms, please self isolate, arrange to have a test and do not come into church.
• On arrival please sanitise your hands.
• Always wear a face covering within church (except babies, toddlers and those who are exempt).
• Groups should only share benches with people from the same household/bubble.
