Happy 175th birthday…

Saint Joseph’s Church, Kilmarnock.

We used Paper, Paint, Pencil and Pen to respond to the history of ‘the church that rose at the top of the hill’ in 1847.

13th of June 2022 is the anniversary of the blessing and opening of the church in 1847.

A special piece of music was written for the Mass of Thanksgiving in St. Joseph’s Church on 13th June 2020…

Ite Ad Joseph! meaning Go to Joseph!

( Written and performed by Raymond McCluskey )

Well done to all the boys and girls who contributed to the special Art Exhibition celebrating Saint Joseph’s Church 175.

The Artwork on display throughout the summer was much admired and appreciated by parishioners and visitors.

…with Saint Columba.

We celebrated the feast day of ‘The Saint Who Made Scotland’

9th June

with drawing, music and stories.

Hear us Columba, Light of Iona-

Lead us to Heaven- across the wide sea!
