A Very Warm Welcome to St Andrew’s Catholic Church, Tenterden

“We wish all visitors to this website and to the parish church, every peace and joy. We are a lively, richly diverse and very welcoming parish of the Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark. We extend pastoral care to those living in and around the Tenterden area, including the rural areas within a 6-mile radius. Please come and join in our celebrations or for some quiet time in the midst of this busy world.”

Dear Parishioners,

 Sunday Evening Prayer

Vespers on Sunday 27 July at 6pm

We are hosting the Churches Together evening service soon.  A service of psalms, hymns and readings that lasts about half an hour followed by light refreshments.

Parish Social Committee

Thanks to our parish Social Committee for all the hard work and dedication in making the events of last weekend so memorable and enjoyable. Many of those who attended commented on the great atmosphere and uplifting music.

Our parish relies on a team of incredible volunteers who give their time freely and generously to clean the church, help with parish finance, prepare for Mass and make our parish a beautiful place of welcome and worship.

 

Parish AGM

On Friday 5 September we have our parish Annual General Meeting (AGM). This is a great opportunity to come together. Our Finance Committee will present an overview of the spending and we can have plenty of time for reflecting on our parish. 

David Green suggested we have fish and chips together from 6pm and then open the meeting for 7pm. There will be a sign up sheet for the fish and chips nearer the time. 

Please put the date in your diary. More details and agenda for the AGM will be available nearer the time.
