Fr. Trindade Monteiro– Fr Trindade is a Priest of the Archdiocese of Goa and Daman, India, presently working in the Diocese of East Anglia, United Kingdom. He was born and brought up in Goa, India with a catholic upbringing. His parents instilled in him a love for God and the Church as they took him to church and taught him the basic catechism at home. By being an Altar Server, it helped him to develop a keen desire to be a priest.
He has a bachelor’s degree of Science in Electronics and completed Philosophical and Theological Studies in the Patriarchal Seminary of Rachol, Rachol- Goa, India. He was ordained to the Holy order of Priesthood on 30th Oct 2006. In 16 years as a Priest, he has served as Assistant Parish Priest in four parishes and as a chaplain/manager in one of the parish schools in the Archdiocese of Goa and Daman before coming to serve in the Diocese of East Anglia, United Kingdom.
He served as Assistant Parish Priest in St. Mary’s Catholic Parish, Ipswich, Suffolk for around eight months before being appointed Priest-in-Charge of this parish.

Our Parish is shared between two churches; St Joseph’s of Sheringham and Our Lady Of Refuge, Cromer.

NEWCOMERS to the parish are invited to make themselves known to Father Trindade or to one of the Welcomers, and to hand in details of addresses, telephone numbers etc. Father Trindade is, of course, very happy to visit your home and to visit you in time of sickness etc. You are invited to make known to him or a Welcomer any talents that you have to offer. Scripture Readers and Lay Ministers of Holy Communion in previous parishes are invited to make this known to Father Trindade if they would like to continue in these ministries.

VISITORS AND HOLIDAYMAKERS are very welcome to join us for Mass and for social events during their stay. Fund-raising and social events are held at regular intervals through the year, and coffee and tea are served in the hall after the 9.00 am Sunday Mass in Cromer and 11am Mass in Sheringham.

GIFT AID: Parishioners who pay income tax on wages and salaries, pensions or savings and investments are invited to sign a Gift Aid form. This enables the parish to recover from the Inland Revenue the income tax which they have already claimed from monies donated by you to the parish. Mary Mustoe-Arthur will be pleased to discuss this with you in confidence. Please just contact us here.
