​Safeguarding


Promoting a Safer Church

Within our church we are committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment, where everyone is respected and valued. We aim to ensure that our parish is run in a way that actively prevents any form of harm.

We have designated Safeguarding representatives who ensure that anyone volunteering or working in the parish with vulnerable people are fully verified and DBS checked before they commence their role. Our safeguarding reps have also been trained to respond safely and well if there is a problem.

If you have any questions with regards to how safeguarding is run in the parish, or are concerned about the welfare of a parishioner please talk to one of the following:

  • Katherine Lawson: 07717 312571
  • Kveta Waterman: 07732 785517
  • Fr Ethelbert

We follow the safeguarding guidelines and policies of the Archdiocese of Southwark, of which we are a parish: click here for more details

Welcome to the Parish of Sacred Heart Church, Goudhurst and St Barnabas Church, Hawkhurst.  We are very happy to have you and we hope you will feel at home here.

We hope that while you're with us you'll be able to attend Mass at one of our two churches. Our dedicated and vibrant welcome team and parishioners will be happy to greet you and share our love and joy in this Christian family.

On the weekend there is Mass at the Sacred Heart in Goudhurst on Saturday evening at 5:30pm, and on Sunday morning at 10:30. Mass is celebrated at St Barnabas in Hawkhurst at 8:30am on Sunday mornings. For locations and parking details see the Mass times page. If you're here on the first Sunday of the month we'd love to meet you over tea or coffee after the Sunday masses.

Weekday masses are celebrated on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday - see the Mass times page for more details.
