SAINT THOMAS MORE PARISH, CHELTENHAM

As the stewards of God’s creation, we have responsibility for our planet’s future. The Climate Liturgy being led by Bishop Declan on Saturday October 23rd in the Cathedral in Bristol, offers the chance to engage with the issues facing our planet through prayer and worship.   The Liturgy will be both a recognition of the work of organisations involved in the Climate Change Campaign in the Clifton Diocese, and an ongoing call and blessing by Bishop Declan for all to continue the action to protect God’s world. Contact Liz Baldwin at CAFOD Clifton if you would like any further details of how CAFOD are promoting this cause – ebaldwin@cafod.org.uk

This new website is for parishioners and visitor alike to use. It is maintained by our Administrator Chris Davies in Tewkesbury who would be happy to receive feedback and contributions.

As time goes by we will add items of news and photographs to reflect what happens at St Thomas More Church and celebrate our achievements.

The times of our various Masses celebrated by Father Tony, both here in Saint Thomas More Church and in the two neighbouring parishes of Tewkesbury and Winchcombe, can be found on the latest edition of the parish newsletter.

A strong Polish community in the area also have two Masses each week [Sunday morning and Tuesday evening, served by Father Dariuz Mazur. Father Dariuz will shortly be moving into the Presbytery on Princess Elizabeth Way now that Father Tony is installed at Winchcombe.

The church is indeed multi-cultural as a number of people from Kerala also use the church to celebrate Mass in their own tongue on a regular basis. It is reassuring to know that our faith is enthusiastically celebrated and shared over such a wide population in the area.
