Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
| Readings at Mass for Sunday 1st Reading: Isaiah 55:10-11 Psalm: 64(65):10-14 2nd Reading: Romans 8:18-23 Gospel: Matthew 13:1-23 |
Live-streaming of Mass will continue.
Social distancing has reduced the seating capacity in both churches, and they both have a ‘one way system’ so that we can maintain that distancing when moving within the churches. If you have come for private prayer you will have noticed this.
Reduced capacity means that we will all need to book a place at Mass using Eventbrite. For St Joseph’s use https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/st-josephs-church-30649080196, for St Edmund’s use https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/st-edmunds-church-30649176868 There is a guide How to use Eventbrite for Parishioners here.
Those parishioners who do not have internet access will be able to book by telephone on; 023 8033 3589. Please only use the telephone if you do not have access to the internet.
Booking for weekday Mass will close at 4pm each day, so that lists can be made and our office staff get home on time.
The times of weekday Mass will resume the pre-existing times in the parish.
Tuesday St Edmund’s 10am Mass with private prayer until noon
Wednesday St Edmund’s Mass at 7pm with private prayer from 5:30pm
Thursday St Joseph’s Mass at 12:15 with private prayer until 2pm
Friday St Edmund’s Mass at 7pm with private prayer from 5:30pm
Saturday St Edmund’s Mass at 11am with private prayer until 1pm
Public Sunday Mass will follow once we have ensured we have got it correct weekdays.
All of this requires our willingness to support each other and our priests so that Mass runs smoothly, safely and with reverence. Please read the Parishioner Guide as it explains the changes. Ushers will also be there to guide us.
We will need to steward ourselves as we do for private prayer. If you are willing to assist as a steward, please contact the parish office or Deacon Andy by email.
Below are links to guides that will be helpful.

We aim to start the live stream about 5 min before Mass begins. There is about 2 min delay between the start of the stream and when it appears on YouTube.
Please be patient, refresh your web browser and hopefully the live stream will appear.

COMING UP
PARISH PILGRIMAGE 2020 led by Father Vincent and Godfrey Doyle. Following the successful pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela and last year to Malta a further one is being planned for this year. This will be to Fatima and other religious and historic sites in northern Portugal, finishing in Lisbon. It is being planned for 14—21 October 2020. Details available soon.
If a family member is going into the General Hospital please let your local priest know (in case they require ‘Anointing’ before being admitted); also inform the Hospital Chaplaincy requesting a visit by the Team and, if appropriate, Holy Communion (or to arrange to attend the afternoon Mass in the Hospital)
Thank you to all who planned, ran and got involved with the Mission held from 30 May - 9 June 2019. A special thanks to Father Des, Tina Quinn, the ‘Welcomers’, ‘Hospitality Teams’ and musicians/singers. Many of us have benefited from the 9 days of prayer, talks, reflections, conversations and Masses. Now what next?
- Consider a deeper involvement in Parish Life? Let us know!
- Baptism Team?
- Pre-Marriage Team?
- Winter shelter scheme?
- Reader, Eucharistic Minister?
- Welcomer, Hospitality…?
- Maybe ‘Called and Gifted’ (July) or
- ‘Open Door Retreats’ (September) or
- ‘Week of Accompanied Prayer’ (November)

Discipleship: To Encounter, To Abide, To Follow, To Evangelise
St. Joseph's and St. Edmund's ...
is a warm, welcoming and diverse Catholic community at the heart of Southampton. People from across the globe come regularly to worship here at one of the several Sunday or weekday Masses. Catholics and people of any Christian community or faith (or none) are able to use St Edmund's Church as a place of quiet and reflection throughout the day.
This website has been prepared for you, the parishioner, for our visitors and for those in the local community who are interested in the parish. This website provides a summary of the many activities, groups and organisations that function in this vibrant parish. We welcome contributions and anyone can submit an article.
To all new arrivals, we extend a very warm welcome. We would be grateful if you would complete a census form and return it to the parish office so that our records may be kept up to date. Be assured, that in doing so you are not committing yourselves to anything.
