WELCOME TO THE PARISH OF WINDSOR

I hope that this website might extend a welcome and assurance that here is a place that you will be given a dignity and a hospitality. Perhaps you are looking for a time of Mass or the possibility of booking a baptism or a wedding. You may be new to the area and thinking of joining this community of faith. Whatever the reason I hope and pray that your needs are met and that we will be able to help you in your search.

Canon David Hopgood

EASTER POSTER 2024

Thought for the Week

 Fifth Sunday in Lent – 17th March 2024

 In today’s Gospel, there were some Greeks, who approached Philip, and said they wanted to see Jesus. Notice that Philip didn’t take them straight to Jesus – instead he went to consult Andrew, and then together, they went to see Jesus to explain the request. 

I mentioned this because, as Christians, we should not be in isolation from one another. We all have different gifts and working together we can truly bring more people to meet Jesus. You will have noticed over the last few weeks we have been emphasising the importance of ministries in the life of the parish community. Our parish handbook offers us a variety of different things that we might participate and get involved in – or indeed, we might think of other things we might like to do in the life of the parish. 

Christian faith is quite clear when it emphasises the importance of every individual – we all have a unique gift and talent. This, I invite you to use within the community so that we might be stronger and more effective witnesses of the Gospel. 

If you haven’t already done so I would invite you to consider looking at the ministries leaflet we handed out and prayerfully think about what area of parish life I could become involved in. 

I hope many of you will be able to return your leaflet filled in – then we can respond to your generosity. 

Canon David Hopgood 

Pastoral Prayer for Ascot and Windsor

Heavenly Father,

We come before you with hearts full of faith and hope as we pray for the successful joining of our two parishes in this pastoral area.

Lord, we seek your guidance and blessings for this journey as we strengthen our faith community and fulfil your mission to evangelise and bring people closer to Jesus Christ

May your wisdom enlighten our journey as we join together in faith, love, and unity.

In the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, we offer this prayer. Amen.

TIME, TALENT and TREASURES

One of our basic Parish Objectives is to continue to build and support the future of our Parish community.

The aim of our Time, Talents and Treasures Project  is to ask all our parishioners to consider how they might be able to contribute their skills and talents to supporting the ministries and groups that already exist in our Parish, or even start new groups with appropriate objectives.

We already have many active groups, from St Vincent DePaul which provides all types of support to many parishioners, (particularly the elderly and less mobile), to the Mothers and Babies Group.

You can find out more about the life of the Parish with its many ministries from our Parish Handbook (see above), but to assist with your deliberations, representatives of each of our main groups have made short videos to explain their objectives. Links to these videos are listed below, and will be extended as more videos become available.

Time, Talents and Treasures: St Vincent de Paul
Time, Talents and Treasures: Youth work – Confirmation
Time, Talent and Treasures: Bereavement Group
Time, Talent and Treasures: Outreach
