SACRED HEART CATHOLIC CHURCH GROUNDS MAINTENANCE SUMMER 2026 ADOPT A PLOT

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to improving the church grounds,
it is now time to introduce the plan to encourage those parishioners who are able to ADOPT A PLOT.
The grounds have been divided into, I hope, easy manageable areas for individuals, families or groups to maintain;
many hands make light work.
It doesn't have to be too stressful and we can all help each other with the plots. So please give your support and let me have your preferred plot. Thank you John 07850023294

St JOSEPH'S NURSERY
The proposal to open a nursery at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Goole has been formally approved. From 1 January 2027, St Joseph’s will welcome children from the age of three, offering a Catholic early years nursery education in the heart of our community. The response to our consultation was positive, and we are immensely grateful to all those who took the time to respond.
Our nursery will provide 15- and 30-hour funded places for three-year-olds, in a warm, faith-filled environment that reflects the values of our Catholic community. St Joseph’s has always been a school at the heart of this parish, and we are proud to extend that welcome to even younger children and their families.
If you know of any families who may be interested in a nursery place at St Joseph’s from January 2027 onwards, please do encourage them to contact the school.
