Events taking place at St. Simon Stock Catholic Church Ashford or in the Diocese,
The 21st of January 2027 marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of the parish of St. Simon of England (Stock) as a separate Ashford parish.
We will be holding a week of celebrations starting Sunday 17th January culminating with a celebratory evening Mass on Sunday 24th January presided over by Bishop Paul Hendricks and followed by a reception in the hall.
Please mark the dates in your diary and look out for announcements about the programme of events for the week.
Adoremus is the Bishops’ invitation for us to renew our devotion to the Eucharistic Lord. For register delegates from the Dioceses of England and Wales the Adoremus Mass at St. George’s Cathedral is at noon presided over by Archbishop John Wilson.
For all there will be space to watch the start of the Procession at St George’s commencing at 15.00, to follow online, to watch the Procession as it passes on it’s way to Westminster Cathedral (Stop and Pray) and to join the delegates for Benediction at 17.00, either in the Cathedral or the grounds of the Cathedral for which a live sound stream will be provided. There will then be Mass at 18.00 open to all, followed by Holy Hours at 19.30, 20.30, and 21.30 led by the Youth Ministry teams of Westminster, Southwark and CYMFed. These will be followed by an all-night Vigil from 12 midnight to 06.00.
