Preferential Option for the Poor

 ‘Learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow.’ Isaiah 1:17 

A preferential option for the poor means that we think first about the needs of those who are the most vulnerable. Jesus taught that when we feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, look after the sick and visit those imprisoned, we are looking after Him. 

 

We believe in putting people in most need first.

Water Walk

Well done to everyone who undertook the water walk for charity. The water walk was part of our Year of Jubilee and another event to mark the centenary of St Joseph's Church.

The children walked laps carrying a bottle of water. To mark the church's centenary and to set a challenge, the children were aiming for 100 laps (as a class or group) of the field or playground.

All the money raised goes to our school charity the Emmaus (Clifton Diocese Schools) project. This event also brings an end to our charity work for this project.
