Building a Better Marriage
2022-09-03 09:00 - 13:00 | Kent
Marriage and Family Life Kent are offering an opportunity to attend an online ‘Building a Better Marriage’ from 9am – 1pm on Saturday Sept 3rd 2022.
The course offered means that you can attend from your own living room and there is no group sharing!
Recent Building a Better Marriage courses received the following comments from married couples who logged on …
‘The topics were chosen well and we could really relate to them. The personal stories you shared were very insightful and helped us to reflect on our own relationships more deeply… It was relaxed and you put us at ease, being friendly and personable…’
‘We thoroughly enjoyed attending the course and have certainly been practicing a few of the things we learnt already. It puts a smile on our faces when we do because we know that we are certainly richer from participating in the course.’

Queen's Platinum Jubilee
2022-06-02 10:00 - 12:00 | St John’s, Gravesend, St John's Catholic Church, Parrock Street, Gravesend, Kent, DA12 1EN, United Kingdom
Communities are encouraged to get involved in celebrating the Queen’s 70 years of service to the Nation and Commonwealth. As a parish community, we thought we would mark this historic event by planting a tree and commemorative plaque as part of the Queens Green Canopy. We will celebrate Mass on Thursday 2nd June at 10am followed by the tree planting in our garden, refreshments and shared food. Pope Frances has reminded us to take care of the planet and not to exploit its resources. He emphasized that the “earth is an environment to be safeguarded, a garden to be cultivated”. We will be holding a second collection on 15th May towards the cost of a tree and plaque if you would like to help. Please let us know if you have any further ideas for the Parish.
