St Joseph's Church in Hayle is part of the Roman Catholic Parish of the Holy Family. Father Philip celebrated the 6.30pm Mass on Saturday November 5. There will be Mass on Friday November 11 at 10am.

Bishop Mark enjoyed his visit to the Parish of the Holy Family last week and enjoyed meeting everyone.  He was impressed with all that is going on.

Reconciliation is difficult at Hayle at the moment both owing to the hall rebuild and getting to mass after 5pm.  If you can't get to Penzance contact Father Philip.
