Just checking out Upton were i lived in the later 50s early 60s i now live in Canada for the past 26 years. My husband and I married in St. Josephs in February 1963  The priest at the time was Farther Mc Gunigall.  We have just celebrated 47 years of marriage.

I live near Washington, DC in the US.  My grandfather, Owen Heaney, was baptized at St. Joseph's in October of 1892 by Canon Wilfred Dallow.  I enjoy the website.  It looks like a great parish and I hope to visit you all some day.

We would like to wish FR.Peter/Decon Peter, Carol and all our very dear friends at St.Joseph's avery holy and happy Christmas.with every good wish.

My family  ( Hunter...Patricia, Kathleen (me) Siobhan and Sheila)were parishioners from about 1961 until 1978.
I have fond memories of attending primary school in Upton hall convent building then down to the canteen at overchurch where i was taught by miss Cahill . This was before the present school was built.Mother Mary Joseph took us for First Communion preparation.Fr. McGonagle was the parish priest and nellie was the house keeper. I remember on feast days processing from the church over to the convent grounds and back to church again.We sang in the choir and always looked forward to singing at the Christmas and Easter ceremonies. I left Upton in 1980 but I cherish great memories of a very happy chilhood spent there.

My grandfather, Owen Heaney, was baptized at St. Joseph's in October 1892.  I came across this website and I wanted to share my connection to your community. I live in Virginia, USA.  I would love to visit Upton one day.
