For those that have recently died 
Going into Hospital?
We have four hospitals in our parish. Please remember that with GDPR the Hospitals are no longer giving our priests a list of those Catholics admitted as inpatients. If you are well enough you can request to see a Catholic priest via the nurse/ward sister. However, next of kin should also request a priest when necessary if the patient is unable to in anyway. Our priests do rely on being informed by yourself or family members, to be able to care for them. In emergency and in the Royal Surrey, you can request that a Catholic priest be called by the ward staff. 
Reconciliation Family Day
The CYF team invites families with children old enough to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation to the Reconciliation Family Day on Saturday 21st March, St Joseph’s Church Hall. Pop in anytime from 9.30am-4.30pm. The hall is transformed, with activity stations to help your family to prepare to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. |
