PRAYER & LITURGY
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. St Edward’s
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament takes place on Wednesdays after Morning Mass; and on Fridays 5.00 – 5.55 p m, followed by Benediction. Adoration @ St Mary’s
