The Establishment of a new parish of Woking & Surrey Heath
A note from Fr Paul Turner
"Last year, Bishop Richard Moth published a Diocesan Pastoral Plan: ‘The Word Who is Life: The Call to Mission’, which outlines proposed changes to the structure of our parishes. The biggest change is a transition away from deaneries to one large parish formed of existing church communities.
The current Deanery of Woking is set to become a new canonical parish which will include: Christ the King Bagshot, St Tarcisius Camberley, St Peter and St John Camberley, Our Lady Queen of Heaven Frimley, St Hugh of Lincoln Knaphill, St Dunstan’s Woking, and Our Lady Help of Christians West Byfleet. This grouping of churches will be constituted under the proposed name of “The Catholic Churches of Woking & Surrey Heath” with the proposed mission statement;
“We are a family of churches that welcome everyone and work together in in Christ to build a strong community of Catholic faithful, who are rooted in prayer and empowered by the Holy Spirit, so that we can live out God’s call to proclaim the Good News to all, today and tomorrow.”
There will be two consultation meetings to explain more about the proposed changes with the opportunity for questions. These are taking place at St Dunstan’s Church in Woking on Tuesday 3rd June 7.30pm and Our Lady Queen of Heaven Church Frimley on Thursday 5th June 7.30pm."
