The Guildford Catholic Parish – Annual Congress.

This year’s Congress will take place
3rd October 2026 10.00am – 3.30pm
St Polycarp’s School, Waverley Lane, Farnham ,GU9 8BQ

Since 1st Sunday of Advent 2025, the ‘Community of St Joan of Arc’ is part of the new ‘Guildford Catholic Parish’ inaugurated by Bishop Richard. In May last year, some 90 people from across our new parish came together to reflect on our mission in the light of the Diocesan Pastoral Plan. Following that meeting we have formulated a vision for our parish as:

A welcoming Catholic community of prayer, formation, and mission where Jesus Christ, the Word who is Life is encountered, where all can grow in holiness and bear witness in their lives.

This year, we invite those involved with catechesis, formation, liturgy and outreach to gather with us and reflect on how we can grow as a ‘welcoming communities’, with Jesus Christ himself at our centre. It is also open to those who are interested in becoming more involved or and of course to those who just want to find out more. The Congress will provide a source of learning and inspiration for our welcome, especially through sharing in a “Conversation in the Spirit”, an opportunity to hear about how our new parish is developing. The programme for the day and a link to sign up can be found here:
