To see the live-streamed services from our church, you will need to go to the "St Joseph's Church, Upton" channel on YouTube (click here to go to the channel). When you reach the channel you will see a series of thumbnails representing the previously streamed services. If a service is currently being streamed, the first thumbnail in the list will have a label in a red box saying "Live". To watch the livestream, click on this thumbnail. Streaming is usually started about 20 minutes before the start of the service. If the "Live" thumbnail is not showing, please try again closer to the start time of the service.

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 restricted by social distancing and the safe capacity of our church (50). 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:
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.
May is the Our Lady's special month, to celebrate this we will be praying the Rosary each Saturday at 11.00am. Due to Covid restrictions this will only be available on Livstream.
Each service will be lead by two readers at separate lecterns on the altar. We need volunteers to read on each of the five Saturdays of May. If you can help, please add your name to the list at the back of church, or let Fr Lucas or Pam Ainslie know.
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.
