The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on August 15 is a Holy Day of Obligation.

We have Holy Mass at 10am and 7.30pm.  There is also a Latin Mass at12pm.

We need Our Lady’s prayers at this crucial moment in the life of our nation and our troubled times.

Our Lady is the Mother of God and our Mother and when we honour her it is pleasing to our Lord Jesus. Devotion does not detract from our worship of the one true God who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Devotion to the Blessed Virgin is an integral part of our Catholic faith.

New Stations of the Cross

Following some great meetings on Tuesday mornings we are now opening our consultation on the new Stations of the Cross to everyone in the parish.

As you come into the church this weekend you will notice that there are boards with Stations of the Cross that are numbered 1-6. We have also put some pictures on the wall of the First Station of the Cross in the church. You can pick up a leaflet and make your preference known. You may think that more than one option would be suitable for our church, so you put your choices in order of preference.  If there is one that you think it not suitable for the church there is also space on the leaflet to indicate that.

I would like everyone to take part and discuss the pictures. The pictures and the board will be available throughout August.

August is a quiet time in our parish. Our next Tuesday Coffee morning will be on 2 September. We will continue to have Mass and Adoration on Friday morning from 10am.

We love having visitors to our parish. If you are staying in Tenterden or the surrounding villages visiting family or taking a break we look forward to welcoming you and your family.
