St Joseph’s, Penketh, Centenary Year Founders Walk Of Witness Saturday 2nd September

In 1923 Fr Barry, the parish priest of St Marie’s took out a loan of £1,300 from the Archdiocese to purchase land to create a mission in Penketh and this was the beginning of St Joseph’s Parish. To commemorate the Parish beginning and the generosity of the people of Widnes and St Marie’s there will be a walk from St Joseph’s to St Marie’s commencing at 10.00 am and arriving at St Marie’s for refreshments at 11.45 am. There will be a short service and prayers at St Marie’s at 12.15 pm.

All are welcome to join in the walk or to simply meet at St Marie’s later.

This is a Warrington and Widnes Deanery collaboration.
