PRIEST REFERENCE FOR NURSERY & PRIMARY SCHOOL APPLICATION FORMS
On the advice of the Education Commission of the Archdiocese of Southwark the following statement has been released:

"The suspension of the obligation to attend Sunday Mass was announced on 18th March 2020 by Bishops' Conference of England & Wales. If a parent/carer attended Mass at St Anselm's prior to 18th March 2020 then they will be considered to have attended Mass in that parish regularly since that time. This will remain the case until the Sunday obligation is reintroduced by the Bishops."

​

PARISH SATURDAY CATECHISM CLASSES (For children attending non-Catholic Schools)

These sessions are held on Saturday mornings (term time) 10.45am – 11.30am in the parish halls. Any children aged 4 to 8 years willing to learn or revise their understanding of the faith are welcome to attend. We start and end with prayer. The children learn the basic prayers with an explanation of their meaning and where we get them from e.g. references to the Bible. Readings from the Children’s Bible and explain why they were created, the reason for their baptism and what it means to belong to the family of God. If we have time the children will have a chance to do some drawings and colouring and a small piece of homework; fill in the blanks of a word search relating to what we have learnt at the session. The children have a walk around the inside of our lovely church where they learn about the sacramental signs and symbols, the right way to give reverence to God and genuflect. We go through parts of the Mass and explain the meaning of certain words and what it means to have grace. Please contact the parish office for further details 020 8672 2179.
