Priest: Fr. Paul Turner
St. Joseph's was finally completed in 1906, but it was not until 1931 that it
became an independent parish. On the alter the tabernacle is mounted on a stand with a picture of a pelican
underneath. "The pelican is a strong symbol - the mother bird feeds her young from her own
body-Jesus feeds us with his body and blood during the Mass." The alter itself has a picture of a lamb on it which symbolises Jesus as the 'Lamb of God'
- the sacrificial lamb that takes away our sins. The Lady's chapel in this church is designed to copy the grotto at Lourdes, where Mary
appeared to St. Bernadette.
