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.”
Fr John Hine, Parish Priest

August means we stop having a weekly parish newsletter and have one for the whole month, however it is not possible to put the mass intentions in for the whole month because most of them are asked for the week beforehand, so I will put a weekly list on the notice board in the Church Porch.
I want to thank all of you for such a wonderful party for my 80th Birthday last Sunday. I would like to say it was a total surprise but parishioners who were unable to come because of holidays, etc kept telling me beforehand how sorry they were to miss the occasion! There was a tremendous turn-out and it was very evident that you had really worked hard at making it a special occasion. And particular thanks to Deacon Jolyon and Sue.
Kevin Thornton: I have just learnt that he is going to a nursing home in Folkestone on the 8th August. On my visits to him I tell him how much we are all missing him in St Andrews. I have put a card in the porch; perhaps we could all sign it to him with a little message, and I will make sure he gets it.
