Websites 

We recommend a number of websites that can help support your faith, and inform you about developments in the church.

Archdiocese Southwark

The Archdiocese of Southwark is a dynamic Roman Catholic community centred around Christ, seeking to help people grow in faith, live in hope and collectively change our world through love. Within this website, you will find information about the many ministries, activities and opportunities that are available in our Church throughout South London and Kent, whilst the new digital Diocesan Directory offers detailed listings regarding our parishes, schools, clergy and chaplaincies.

Sycamore is an informal course about the Christian faith and its relevance for life today. It gives you space to meet other people, share ideas, explore your beliefs, and think about questions that really matter.
Sycamore began life at Newman House University Chaplaincy in central London. Since then it has grown into a resource that is being used throughout the world.


Word on Fire Homepage

Word on Fire Catholic Ministries is a nonprofit global media apostolate that supports the work of Bishop Robert Barron and reaches millions of people to draw them into—or back to—the Catholic faith. 
Word on Fire is evangelical; it proclaims Jesus Christ as the source of conversion and new life. Word on Fire is Catholic; it utilizes the tremendous resources of the Roman Catholic tradition—art, architecture, poetry, philosophy, theology, and the lives of the saints—in order to explain and interpret the event of Jesus Christ.
Word on Fire Catholic Ministries exists to draw people into the body of Christ, which is the Church, and thereby give them access to all the gifts that Jesus wants his people to enjoy. To be most effective in this mission, Word on Fire places an emphasis and urgency on the use of contemporary forms of media and innovative communication technologies.

Planning your Visit

Church congregation 800x400
Welcome to our parish

We are pleased to have you as a member of our varied community. We have people from all walks of life and from many countries and we hope you will feel at home here.

Meet us at Tea and Coffee after Mass

Why not stay for tea or coffee after Mass on the first Sunday of every month - both at Hawkhurst and Goudhurst - and meet Fr Ethelbert and your fellow parishioners?

Parish Register

We would appreciate you filling out your details in the Parish Register form and returning it to us. You can do this by emailing a scan to the parish office, putting it in the post, or dropping it in to the Parish Office in person.

Volunteering

It would be great if you could help out the parish by volunteering. We have a lot of activities going on and it's a great way to meet others in the parish. If this is of interest, please download the Parish Volunteer form and return it to us as above.

Donating

We are self-financing as a parish and need to raise funds for all our needs. These include supporting our Priest in Charge, maintaining our buildings and funding our activities. We receive no subsidies from the Archdiocese or the wider church.

We would be most grateful if you would consider taking out a Standing Order to support us, ideally combined with Gift Aid. Applicable to those who pay income tax, Gift Aid allows us to recover any basic rate tax that you pay to HMRC, increasing the value of your donation by 25%.

If you would be happy to do this, please download the Standing Order form and return it to us as explained above.
