A Blessed St Joseph's Day
May all the parishioners and visitors to the Catholic Parish of Burry Port & Kidwelly have a very happy and Holy St Joseph's Day.Our own Bishop Emeritus Mullins, who we are so lucky and fortunate to have in our parish, has a special devotion to St Joseph, who lived such a humble, hard-working and Holy life as an example for us all.
Joseph is the patron of the dying because, assuming he died before Jesus’ public life, he died with Jesus and Mary close to him, the way we all would like to leave this earth.
Joseph is also patron of the universal Church, fathers, carpenters, and social justice.

Happy St Patrick's Day
A very Happy St Patrick's Day to all the parishoners of Burry Port and Kidwelly Catholic Parish, and to all readers of this Parish blog.St Patrick is the Patron Saint of Nigeria, apparently because it was the Irish who took Catholicism to the African country, and so I am sure all parishoners will wish to say a very happy and blessed St Patrick's Day to our very own Nigerian priest, Fr. Benedict Koledoye.

Peter's Pence Collection
* Peter’s Pence Collection:There will be second collection for Peter’s Pence on 27-03-11. (Third Sunday of Lent).
Peter's Pence (from Wikipedia):
Peter's Pence is payment made more or less voluntarily to Rome. It began under the Saxons in England and is seen in other countries. Though formally discontinued in England at the Reformation, a post-Reformation payment of uncertain characteristics is seen in some English manors into the 19th century. In 1871 Pope Pius IX formalized the practice of lay members of the Roman Catholic Church - and "other persons of good will" - to provide financial support to the Roman See.
Lenten Walk With me Booklets
* Walk With Me: booklets for LENT are available.

New Parish Lectures on Catholicism
OUR JOURNEY THROUGH FAITH:The lecture series “Our Journey through Faith” will begin this Lenten season.
It is an opportunity for us to learn more about our Faith and expound the treasures of Catholicism.
All are welcome to this series of talks. Details will be given to us next Sunday.
Notice Regarding Mass Times
In order to simplify this site, Mass Times etc. will no longer be posted here in this section.Rather they will have their own stand-alone page (see tabs at the top of the site) where they will be edited/changed every week.
This is in order to stop any confusion between upcoming Masses and old posts.
It will also help us de-clutter the main page, on which news of Parish events and other matters will continue to be posted.
Thank you.
