Feast day
Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God
The Feast of Mary, Mother of God is celebrated on 1st January.
Lent is a Catholic liturgical season of 40 days of prayer, fasting and almsgiving, beginning on Ash Wednesday and concluding at sundown on Holy Thursday. During Lent we seek the Lord in prayer and Sacred Scripture, serve by giving alms, and practise self-control through fasting. In 2026 Ash Wednesday is on 18th February. There will be Mass at 9.15am and 7.30pm on the day, and Stations of the Cross every Friday during Lent at 7.00pm.
The Archdiocese of Southwark supports priests in their old age, retirement and ill health through its Clergy Support Fund. Please see the Archdiocese’s website for information about the fund and how to support it.
The Feast of Mary, Mother of God is a holy day of obligation for Catholics. It celebrates Mary’s motherhood of Jesus and the role she played in the salvation of humankind. Mary was chosen by God the Father to bring Jesus Christ into this world.
Since the 19th century
Parish History
The parish has served the Catholic community of Rotherhithe since the late nineteenth century, with the present church built in memory of Sir Peter le Page Renouf.
Sacraments
The reception of a Sacrament is a most important moment in the life of a member of the Church community, and careful preparation should be made.
