My Grandparents were married in this beautiful church on the 1 August 1931. I actually visited the church when I move to London and worked in Debenhams Eltham. Is there any where on this site that I could check for births, deaths and Marriage records. I would like to found out more history of my family. It's an excellent site. Thank you. Jacquie Wigg

My wife and I are planing to visit an aunt of mine who lives in Eltham, and is a parishoner at Christ Church. Her name is Rose Swink, and she lives at Woodington Close. I like the website, and I have visited the site much in the last month. Ours plans are to arrive at Heathrow on March 16, and will visit Aunt Rose the next day before we are heading out to visit Wales. Cheers, and I enjoy visiting your site. Sincerely, Ted Liljeholm

Hanna Any person can attend Mass at any Catholic church anywhere in the world. The word Catholic means "Universal", that does not only mean world wide. It means we are for everyone. Harry and Jane

I am a Catholic from Hong Kong. I've been living in this country for one and a half years, but never been to any mass in a Catholic church, which is something I really want to do especially after I'm back from Italy. I am living in Brockley at this moment and would like to join the Sunday service. Please tell me if i can do that. Hanna

FR EDWARD KELLY, CRL Just to inform members of the parish community at Christchurch, that there will be a special Memorial Mass for Fr Edward Kelly on Sunday 7th December 10.00am at St Peter-in-Chains, Stroud Green. As Fr Edward exercised his ministry in a variety of our CRL houses; Cornwall, Eltham and at Stroud Green we wanted to have a special Mass to celebrate his life and minstry. Both Fr Denis O'Gorman and myself travelled to Ballinasloe to receive Fr Edward's Body into Moor church and celebrate the Requiem Mass on the following day - 11th November. Fr Edward is buried just beside the entrance to the church. I am grateful to Fr Denis for the two weeks he spent in Ballinasloe being at Fr Edward's bedside for many hours each day before he died. We look forward to welcoming members of Christchurch parish for the memorial Mass at St Peter-in-Chains. Fr Edward's sister, nieces and nephews will be present for the celebration. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.

Dear Father Paul Rea, I lived in Eltham in my youth and gave away three of my sisters at Christ Church. I loved your informative narrative of the inside of the church, but missed seeing any pictures of the surrounding grounds. Maybe you could add a few if there is a need to add to your narrative at a later date. Bless you.

The new Altar carpet will be laid on Friday 26th. The refurb completion party and celebration Mass will be on the 29th,(8:00 I think) This is also the comemeration of Fr. Anthony's 50 years as a member of the CRL. Please do come if you can. It's a sort of "bring a bottle and something to eat" and I have invited our contractors to send a representative. They are a great bunch of people. As Fr. Anthony has now "outed" us, kind regards and hope to see you there, Nick Craddy, Paul Clark, Jackie Day, Paul Cookson, and Rory O'Sullivan. We hope you approve of all that we have done.

Welcome back to Christchurch. I hope you had a good holiday, if you managed to get away.I hope you are pleased with the work that has been done in church. Regular bulletins have been posted throughout and so you will be familiar with the details. The standard of the work has been high, carried out on time and within budget. It has been supervised throughout by Nick Craddy and Paul Clark who have given generously of their time to be on hand to supervise, move things, prepare for Sunday and much else. The parish owes them a debt of gratitude. Thank you too to all those who turned out on Saturday mornings to get the church ready for use. Thank you to the many generous donors who have helped pay for the work. It has been a shared enterprise an example of the parish working together. We still have the benches to sort out, but that's another story.

Many thanks to Michael for posting the photos and reports. I will continue to send him updates and photos until we have completed the works. More unusual angle photos of Christchurch to follow, it's a bit odd looking down at the church from 40 feet up!

The CYA today returned from a brilliant Pilgrimage to Lourdes where we worked with the Archdiocese of Edinburgh and St Andrews. Just to say thank you to the parish for all the support we received, both financial and otherwise. We look forward to the opportunity to tell you all about it at some point in the future!

Hello everyone, as our Parishoners will know, we are in the process of refurbishing Christchurch. We have this week, painted some sample colours in the church, for the forthcoming re-decoration. Please take a moment to have a look, there are stickers identifing the names of the schemes, and you you have any comment, then please let me know. To both our parishoner and non-parishoner visitors, if you would care to make a donation to our refurbishment fund ( A fair amount is needed to be raised ) then please contact Miriam in the Parish Office, every little helps!

Hi everyone. Just a quick suggestion - after you've all been to the Service of Penance in the Church tomorrow night, why not pop into the hall next door to see how the CYA are getting on with their fundraising music evening (Adults £3.50, children £1.50, all proceeds to Lourdes fund) to make your penance complete! Look forward to seeing you tomorrow night :-)

14 April is approaching - do you have any plans for a Mass for Fr Christopher? My wife, Pat, and I would like to attend a service on either the Sunday or the Monday depending on what is being arranged. You may be interested to know that we have visited my brother Paul down in Tiverton and the Parisioners there consider him to "be the best thing since sliced bread!". If somebody could let me know what is being arranged I would be most grateful. My home telephone number is 01903 521543 (24 Hour Ansering Service) PS - Wonder what Fr Chrisropher would have made of the the Liverpool - Celtic result bearing in mind that Glasgow Celtic are "RC"!!

Michael, i do think u should consider a revamp or at least update of this site. It hasn't changed for a while, and similarity breeds disinterest. Just a bit of friendly advice

When was the website last updated? It's a really good way of keeping up with what's going on at Christchurch if you're away, but it doesn't seem to have changed for the past month. Have you been slacking, Michael?! :)

What a good idea to have a parish website! I go to John Fisher Church in Kidbrooke, but I do use The Monty Club. I'd like to remind people what a good club you have right next door to your church. Keep up the good work

I'm looking for Shooters Hill Cemetery, London. I've been told that it could be in the Greenwich area or an area surrounding Greenwich. If you know the details of where this cemetery is, please reply using this guestbook. Thank you in advance.
