All Souls’ Requiem Mass

Our All Souls’ Requiem Mass is a solemn and prayerful commemoration of all the faithful departed, especially those whose funerals have taken place in our parish during the past year.

At this Mass we remember, by name, those who have died, and we also pray for the blessed dead whom parishioners and friends wish to have included in our intercessions. The names are read aloud, and candles may be lit in their memory as a sign of love, hope, and the unbroken bond of faith which joins the living and the departed in Christ.

In the beauty of the Requiem Mass we entrust our loved ones to the mercy of God, who promises life beyond death and light beyond darkness. Together we commend them to his keeping, confident that those who sleep in Christ shall rise with him in glory.

St Matthew's Ashford

A VERY WARM WELCOME to the Parish Churches of St. Mary the Virgin Stanwell and St. Matthew Ashford, whether you come as a visitor to look at our lovely Churches, to pray where generations of people have prayed before you, or if you come as one looking for a church to make your spiritual home.

Our parishioners represent a wide variety of age groups, backgrounds, experiences and occupations. Given all our parish has to offer, we realise that a newcomer can still feel isolated amid new, unknown faces, ministries and opportunities. We hope to minimize such isolation and invite you to learn more about our parishes so that you and your family may experience our rich opportunities for worship, community and ministry.

St Mary’s and St Matthew’s are truly places where all are counted as part of our faith family. We seek to be an inclusive and welcoming Christian community, imposing no conditions on those who come through our doors other than a willingness to be open to the love of God revealed in Jesus Christ. Again, welcome; I look forward to meeting you.

Yours in Christ,

Fr Stuart King SSC

Parish Priest
