Charity Law
To note: The Roman Catholic
Archdiocese of Southwark is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (Registered
Incorporated Charity Number 1173050). Thus, parishes of the Archdiocese are
bound by the terms of the England & Wales the Charities Act 2011. The
Charity Commission for England & Wales directs that “Charities must
remain independent and must not give their support to a political party” as
purely partisan political activity is not a charitable purpose. Likewise, The
Electoral Commission mandates: “Charities must remain independent of party
politics and must not support a political party or candidate or create a
perception of support as a result of their actions or participation.”
Please note that there is an election hustings event being held at St Leonard’s Anglican Church in Hythe on Monday 1st July 2024 commencing at 6.30pm where you will have an opportunity to meet and put questions to the candidates and listen to responses.
X RECEPTION OF COMMUNION – only Catholics in a state of grace are allowed to receive Communion at Mass. Those who receive this in their hands should put it into their mouth before leaving the Minister. Anyone not receiving should go to the priest, cross their arms over their chest to receive a blessing.
X INFANT BAPTISM may only happen after undergoing a preparation with the parish priest. Baptisms can then be celebrated at either 3pm on a Saturday or 1pm on a Sunday on the 1st or 3rd Sunday of the month.
X A TRAINING SESSION FOR NEW READERS - will take place on Saturday 29th June at 1.00pm in OLHC hall. If you are interested in attending please contact Ellen by email: ellen184.ef@gmail.com
