General Help

Friday Surgery

Fr. Tom holds a 'surgery' each Friday in the Presbytery from 5.30p.m. - 7.00p.m. There is no need to make an appointment - you can just turn up. This surgery time can be used to make wedding arrangements, obtain copies of Baptism certificates, Mass Cards etc. or just for a simple chat.

Confession/Reconciliation

If you would like to make your confession/reconciliation, then you may do so at Ss. Thomas' Church in Emsworth every Saturday from 11.00a.m. or at St. Joseph's Church in Havant every Saturday from 7.30p.m. There is no need to make an appointment.

Fr. Tom realises that many people find this sort of experience very daunting and he would therefore welcome you to come for a private chat in more comfortable surroundings, by appointment. Please telephone him on (023) 9248 4520. If you don't catch him in, then please leave a message.

ALPHA - RCIA

If you are interested in exploring the Catholic tradition of the Christian faith or just need some answers about God, faith and church, then ALPHA or the RCIA may be of help. These are courses run by the church which explore the Catholic faith and what it means to be a Christian. If you are interested in these, then please feel free to contact Fr. Tom for further information.

If you would prefer not to commit yourself to these courses, no problem. There is no bar to knowledge within the church. Fr. Tom would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have or point you in the right direction.
