LIVE MUSIC, A FREE NIGHT OUT & A BAR- Come and join Larking Crew for a fantastic evening of live music at St Joseph’s Church, Ladbroke Road, Redhill, on Saturday 10 October, 7.00–10.00pm. We’ll be playing a great mix of classic rock songs you’ll know and love.Entry is FREE and there’ll be a pay bar throughout the evening. Bring your friends, bring your family and come and make a night of it. And while we’re having a great night, the pay bar will be raising money for two wonderful local charities: St Catherine’s Hospice and RDA Epsom (Riding for the Disabled Association). So come along, enjoy the music, have a drink and help us raise as much as we can for two very worthwhile causes.

Wednesday 14th October 2026 at 7.30 pm at ‘The Lounge’, Dorking Football Club Tickets are £10 each, including pizza. All are welcome, (no children) If Parishioners would like to buy tickets please contact the school office. Tickets are on sale now.

If you haven’t already done so, but would still like to commit to praying a decade of the Rosary each day during February, then please do put your initial or a tick in one of the boxes on the ‘Rosary Circle’ chart in the church porch. The ‘Chart’ lists the 20 decades of the Rosary and a number of columns for people to put their initial or a tick in a box to indicate they will commit to praying the particular decade each day for the month of February, and hopefully, this will create a number of ‘circles’ praying for this intention. This is a very simple spiritual exercise many of us could join in with; at least 20 people praying one decade of the Rosary each day, so the whole of the Rosary is prayed for this particular intention, thus creating a ‘Rosary Circle’. Let it be said, however, that anyone can join the Rosary Circles at any time.
Ceilidh- the planned event on Sunday 4 October 2026 has been CANCELLED due to unexpected circumstances. People who purchased tickets should approach Maria in the Office to obtain a full refund. We apologise for this disappointing news!
