July 2020 marked the beginning of the Avon Thames Catholic Family of Parishes which is made up of the three parishes of Holy Name of Mary in St. Marys and St. Joseph's Parish  and Immaculate Conception Parish in Stratford.

While the limitations of Covid 19 have been challenging duirng this time of change, and have contributed significantly to the way we serve the faithful, we have continued to move forward in Mission. We have had to modify the way we interact with our parishioners to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all, and continue to minister to the spiritual needs of the faithful.  

The ability to celebrate the Eucharist and the other Sacraments, with the required modifications, has been a source of great joy for everyone.  As we support each other during these trying times, we pray that we continue to move forward in faith.
