Welcome to St Joseph's
Father Stephen Dye, Rev Deacon Raymond Keogh and our parish community welcome you to our parish website of the Roman Catholic Parish of Rutland.
Our parish covers the county of Rutland which includes the two market towns of Oakham and Uppingham and the many villages of Rutland.
Holy Mass is celebrated everyday in the parish church of St Joseph's in Oakham with Latin Mass on a Friday evening. Holy Mass is also celebrated each Sunday in the 19th century private chapel at Exton Hall and once a month on Sunday in the Chapel at Uppingham School.
We are a thriving Parish with many activities and prayer groups that meet both at the church and in private homes.

Mary's Meals Update
Did you know? Every donation you made up to 31st December 2017 was doubled thanks to three amazing donors.
Your response to Mary’s Meals appeal this Advent has been fabulous. The total amount sent is £415 which was doubled making a total of £830.
It has been sent and will feed many children with a meal at £13.90 a school year!
Maybe you could help with girls skirts aged 10-12, boys shorts or trousers aged 10 - 12 and flip flops in the coming week? We are also desperate for spoons ...used ones are fine as we have none left, if you have any to spare?
