to St Mary and St George Catholic Church in Totnes
Welcome
to St Mary and St George Catholic Church in Totnes
Our mission is to guide people of all backgrounds into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Celebrating our Faith in Worship
COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Update: Public Mass is celebrated at St Mary and St George on Saturday at 6.30pm, Sunday at 10.30am and Thursday at 10.00am.
Face coverings are mandatory in Places of Worship. All those who are attending churches must wear a face covering unless they are exempt from doing so. This is for the good of all who gather in the Church for Mass as it is an enclosed public space where there are people from differing households who they do not normally meet.
On 9th September, the Government announced new measures banning social gatherings of more than 6 people in a range of settings. Please note that places of worship are exempt from this restriction.
“Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction.”
“Christians have a duty to proclaim the Gospel without excluding anyone. Instead of seeming to impose new obligations, they should appear as people who wish to share their joy, who point to a horizon of beauty and who invite others to a delicious banquet. ”
“The parish is a community of communities, a sanctuary where the thirsty come to drink in the midst of their journey, and a centre of constant missionary outreach.”
“The parish is the presence of the Church in a given territory, an environment for hearing God’s word, for growth in Christian life, for dialogue, proclamation, charitable outreach, worship and celebration”
Live Mass
Mass will be live-streamed via our Facebook page on Sundays at 10.30am.
Covid: Reminder
Please wear a mask during Mass
Keep the 2 metre distance rule
Please do not use the kneelers (in order to maintain the 2 metre distance)

Today, too, the Spirit is calling men and women to set out and encounter all those who are waiting to discover the beauty, goodness, and truth of the Christian faith. #Cathechists #AntiquumMinisterium https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/motu_proprio/documents/papa-francesco-motu-proprio-20210510_antiquum-ministerium.html
Everything we would like others to do for us, let us do for them instead (cf. Mt 7:12). Do we want to be heard? Let us first listen. Do we need encouragement? Let us give encouragement. Do we want someone to care for us? Let us care for those who are alone and abandoned.
