Our Parish is part of the Catholic Church in England. We are in the Deanery of Dover in the Archdiocese of Southwark. We are part of that great network of communities that make up the Catholic Church throughout the world, all in communion with the Successor of Peter in Rome.
Here are links to other communities in the Church and organisations that foster the Catholic faith.
