This weekend we meet at the regular time as we celebrate the First Sunday after Trinity. There's a very warm welcome at our 9am Parish Eucharist in St. John's Church. Please note that due to the Cycle Race, there's no parking on Church Street, so please make allowance if you plan to come by car!

The following Sunday, 14th June, the Eucharist will again be at 9am (not 4pm when it would normally be for the Second Sunday of the month). This is to allow us to support our churchwardens who go to the Cathedral that afternoon to begin their year in office.

The relationship of the church and the school is one of the things we’ve valued most!

💙✨ A fond farewell today at Castleside… ✨💙
Today we said an emotional goodbye to Reverend Jackson as he begins his well-deserved retirement.
The children shared a special card and some sweet treats to say thank you 🧁💌 — a small gesture for someone who has given us so much.
Thank you for all the memories, kindness and support over the years — you will be truly missed by us all.
Wishing you a happy, relaxing retirement! 🌟
