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.
