Please feel free to read more about our parish on this site, or come in for a visit at either our Parish Church of St Joseph, Skeffington Road (PR1 5UQ) or the Shrine Church of St Thomas of Canterbury & the English Martyrs, Garstang Road (PR1 1NA).

Our Catholic Faith
Getting Involved
Our Parish appreciates and relies upon the generosity of its parishioners in a variety of roles to contribute towards it's life and mission in our corner of Preston. Parishioners give of themselves to encounter Jesus Christ more deeply, to give thanks for encountering Him in the Church's mysteries and to draw their neighbours towards an encounter with the Living God.
Whether it’s as a catechist (for sacramental programmes, on-going formation, small groups and liturgy of the Word with children), a cleaner, a sacristan, an altar server, helping with the grounds, helping with the upkeep of our Church properties, helping with social and community events or any other role, all of our volunteers give of their time and gifts to help our parish welcome people, be involved and put them in touch with Christ.
If you would like to offer your services as a volunteer, or to find out which roles we currently need strengthening, do please contact the priests of our parishes after Mass or email us at: stjohnxxiii.preston@lrcd.org.uk
