Welcome

Confirmation Programme 2026

Enrolment and Commitment Forms

Confirmation is a joyful and serious step - it celebrates the decision to continue to be a Disciple of Jesus, and to become a full adult member of God’s family.

Below are two forms that need to be completed, signed and returned to the Parish together with the Candidate's baptismal certificate before 30th November 2025.

All Saints

Dear Friends,

            In a break with tradition, the English Hierarchy have nominated Sunday 2^nd November as All Saints Day and Monday 3^rd November as All Souls Day. There will be Mass at 10am and 7.30pm this Monday (3^rd November) for All Souls Day.

I must ask your forgiveness in forgetting to draw your attention to the Wednesday live-streamed presentation on The Bible Timeline course, which began on Wednesday 1^st October for eight consecutive Wednesdays. The course is FREE and presented by Mauro Iannicelli from 7pm to 8pm UK time. See noticeboard in the Church foyer. Scan the QR code and join in now if you wish.

Anyone you know who would benefit from joining the Millie Bridger support group, if they have a chronic illness of any kind. Again, details on the noticeboard in the porch and scan the QR code please.

This weekend we celebrate All Saints Day as already stated. Who are they? Have we ever met a Saint? Do we wish to join the ranks of the Saints or is this life enough, especially if we live into old age and our main topic of conversation is our pains and aches and how unsympathetic people are when we go on about health. Well at one time we too turned a deaf ear to the aches and pains of others. Yet we are ALL called to be Saints. “Oh when the Saints, come marching in, I want to be in that number, when the Saints come marching in.” Our agenda and way of looking at life is very limited, I fear.

The Visitation of the National Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima and the Relics of Saints Jacinta and Francisco will be at Arundel Cathedral on Saturday 8^th November from 10am to 4.30pm. There’s a rolling programme of events.  Everybody welcome.

God Bless you all, Fr John

New Parish

We are now very close to OLQH becoming part of a new parish, provisionally called the ‘Woking and Surrey Heath parish.’ This will be confirmed following a diocesan meeting on 29th October and we anticipate that the official start of the new parish will be the First Sunday in Advent. Between these two dates, there will be update meetings with the churches that will form the new parish. There will be one leadership team for the new parish, but each of the churches will retain a local pastoral council. Where possible, we will coordinate or have joint activities. For example, the Advent and Lent small group meetings. Even though the new parish will officially exist from the end of November, there will be a huge amount of work still to come to fully establish and get it running. We are therefore asking all our parishioners to give some thought as to any concerns or questions that you may have, as these can be addressed in the update meeting planned for November (date to be confirmed). Please do send in any questions by email to the parish office: frimley@abdiocese.org.uk

First Friday Mass – 7pm at St. Peter & St. John Church, Camberley. Mass is followed by Adoration, the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Prayer Ministry during a time of musical worship and silence and concludes at 8.30pm.

Visitation of Fatima Statue and Relics

This will take place between 10.00am to 4.30pm on Saturday 8^th November at Arundel Cathedral. For more information then please visit the diocesan website at: www.abdiocese.org.uk/diocese/events
