Welcome
Welcome to the Parish of Effingham and Fetcham. The parish also encompasses East and West Horsley and Ockham together with Great and Little Bookham, all basking in the shade of the North Downs of Surrey. We aspire to be outward looking and to encourage our parishioners to have a personal relationship with Our Lord Jesus and our neighbours.
Please feel free to come and introduce yourself. You will be warmly welcomed.
With every blessing,
Father Stephen

Coronavirus Situation Update (August 2021)
Our churches are now open for communal worship and we are running our normal Mass schedule (see our Mass Times page).
We continue to observe Diocesan and Government regulations, in
particular in regard to the distancing of seating, sanitisation, Test and
Trace and the manner of receiving Holy Communion. Communal singing is now allowed provided we keep our face coverings in place.
We ask you please to continue to remember social distancing (especially
as you arrive and leave and come up for Communion), hand sanitising
and face coverings (unless you have an exemption).
