WELCOME

The Roman Catholic Parish of Guildford is formed of four active and diverse church communities in Guildford: St Joseph's, St Mary's, St Pius X and St Edward the Confessor, one of the largest and most dynamic parishes in the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton. At the heart of our parish are people of all ages and backgrounds who work, pray and share their lives together. Our children, youth and family work is unique and a particularly strong feature of Guildford. We invite and encourage you to explore, discover and visit our Parish.​

Reopening our Churches for Mass

We are now able to open our Masses for public attendance, however capacity is limited due to social distancing and you MUST book a ticket through the website.
Please ensure that you bring a face mask with you when attending Mass. 
If you have a reserved a space at Mass but would like to cancel it please email us as soon as possible.

Can you volunteer to help steward at Mass?

 The number of Masses we are able to offer is limited by the availability of stewards. Stewards show people to their seats and clean the church after the Mass. Thank you to those who have already stewarded and noted that it is a very rewarding ministry. We are looking for more volunteers. 
If you are under 70 and able to help, anywhere from weekly to occasionally, then please click here. 
​You must be registered on the parish database to volunteer.
