THE SEASON OF ADVENT:- A penitential season in which the Church calls us to conversion of mind and heart as we begin to focus our thoughts upon the humble birth of our Lord in Bethlehem. To help us in our spiritual preparation there are Penitential Services in the area as follows: Leatherhead: Tuesday 10th Dec at 6.30 pm; Tadworth Wed 11th Dec at 7 pm; Epsom Wed 11th Dec at 7.30 pm; Effingham on Thurs 12 Dec at 7.30 pm and here in Dorking on Sunday 15th Dec at 3pm. We should remember and be reminded that in this Sacrament, it is the grace and mercy of our Lord which is being offered, and that it is through His priests, both worthy and unworthy, that He chooses to minister to us.

We perhaps need to be reminded that Advent, like Lent, is a penitential season, a particular time of prayer, fasting, abstinence and alms for the poor, something both difficult to remember, and observe, given the commercial nature of our world. So, to be encouraged in these things, at the beginning of this new liturgical year, which is also designated as a Jubilee or Holy Year. We should also avail ourselves of the Sacrament of Reconciliation / Confession / Pardon and Peace; the opportunity to do so, will be available with Reconciliation Services as follows:
Leatherhead: Tuesday 10th Dec at 6.30 pm; Tadworth Wed 11th Dec at 7 pm; Epsom Wed 11th Dec at 7.30 pm; Effingham on Thurs 12 Dec at 7.30 pm and here in Dorking on Sunday 15th Dec at 3pm
