YOUR MARRIAGE:
TIME FOR A SERVICE?
In the same way a car needs servicing
to continue to run efficiently, so
a marriage too will benefit from a ‘service’.
That’s what Building A Better Marriage’ is,
a half-day online course taking place
from 9am till 1pm on February 5th.
Booking is essential.
More details: 07983 524 727.

The Pope’s Prayer intention for January:
For those who suffer religious persecution.
Pope Francis dedicates his first prayer message of 2022 to combatting religious discrimination and persecution, reminding us that religious freedom is not limited to freedom of worship, but is tied to fraternity.
|
This Sunday we celebrate the Word of God -
“Devoting a specific Sunday of the liturgical
year to the word of God can enable the Church to experience anew how the risen Lord
opens up for us the treasury of his word
and enables us to proclaim its
unfathomable riches before the world.”
Pope Francis - ‘Aperuit illis’
The Christian faith is not a ‘religion of the book’. Christianity is the religion of the ‘Word of God’,
a word which is ‘not a written and mute word, but the Word is incarnate and living’.
|
Keeping Covid Secure
-
Please continue to wear a face mask unless exempt.
-
Sanitise your hands on entering and leaving.
-
Parents must accompany their children to the toilet and clean afterwards.

THANK YOU FROM OUR LADY OF THE MISSIONS PARISH IN PERU.

Welcome to the Web Site for the Catholic Parish of St. Matthias, Worcester
Park, in the Archdiocese of Southwark.
Our Parish is a lively Catholic community situated on the borders of three
Boroughs, Sutton, Kingston, and Epsom & Ewell. It stretches from the A3 in the
north to the A24 in the south and includes Worcester Park, Malden Manor, Old
Malden, Malden Green, and areas of New Malden, Motspur Park and North Cheam.
That area of the Parish in the Borough of Epsom and Ewell is in the Diocese of
Arundel & Brighton but served from St. Matthias.
