This is the first church I have visited in London. Please accept my appreciation of your visual presentation. The music accompanying it was pleasing. I know you don't celebrate Thanksgiving on the same day as we do. But, I am thankful that I found your church. HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY

Hi I used to live in Eltham with my family pre 1979 when we then moved up here to Lincolnshire. My mum and dad (Jim and Dolly Proctor) were both very involved with Christ Church Parish at the time (scouts, coffee mornings, fetes. This was in the days of Father Smith etc. It was great to find your website and have a look around again. Sadly my mum died two years ago, and my dad is moving out to Thailand in January to be near to my older brother, Mike. I still have very fond memories of Christ Church and the folk masses, St Mary's and St Thomas Moore's schools. The parish in Louth is very small and rural compared to Eltham. I'm now a cathechist, which is quite demanding as there are no Catholic schools here at all. I run my own business in marketing and have decided that I'm going to set up a new national website (www.romancatholicfaith.org.uk) with project sheets, games and general information for Catholic children and a RC parish directory. I was pleased to see that you have some good games and quizzes on your site! Will visit your site again soon. Maria Vincent

Just visited this site as wanted to find out more about your church as I may be moving nearer to your area soon. It comes across as so welcoming and warm that I can't wait to move now - not that I am saying that Sydenham isnt that as well!! I enjoyed reading bout the Knights andyour social club too as my Father was very active in these areas in Sydenham, now he has retired back to Ireland. I hope that one day I will be attending your masses, and that my son will be singing int he choir! Linda

Parish of St James & St John, Tiverton Dear friends, Thank you for your farewell gift. Your generosity doesn't surprise me, but I still can't get my head round the extent of it! I'm sorry I shan't be coming back to thank you in person, but I have been gone for well over a year now and we have all moved on - in my case to this lively Devon parish, where I have been made so welcome. I think of my brother |Christopher's funeral - that wonderful celebration of memories, love and prayer - as having bee a kind of joint farewll to both of us. The happiest and most fulfilling years of my life wewre spent with him and with you at Christ Church. I shan't ever forget what we all shared, and for that, especially, |I thank you. Fr Paul.

I kinda stumbled into this website as I was looking for information about St Mary's Primary's previous site in Eltham High Street (when it was attached to the convent. Any info anyone can give me would be appreciated (website addresses perhaps?) as I'm trying to set up a previous pupils' association. Check out Friends Reunited - a few of us leavers from 1979 are in touch with each other and it would be nice to see more. And a message for Peter Eastwood: I'm sure your singing was never that bad when I was in the Priory Players - maybe that's why you were always set-building!! Any ex-Priory Players who want to get in touch with me would be very welcome too.... Brenda (was Bates, now Turner)

Think the web site is great,and to have the weekly notices printed will be of great benefit to any housebound,providing of course they have access to a computer!Would it be possible to have a print out of the list that the weekly masses are said for? Thanks for all your hard work behind the scene!

PRAYER: Merciful God, you made all of the people of the world in your own image and have placed before us the pathway of salvation through your saints and prophets. Look with compassion on the whole human family; take away the arrogance and hatred which infect our hearts; break down the walls that separate us; unite us in bonds of love; and work through our struggle and confusion to accomplish your purposes on earth; that, in your good time, all nations and races may serve you in justice, peace and harmony around your heavenly throne. (Amen) PRAYER: Merciful God, please give to peoples of the world the required wisdom and determination, to learn to live in peace like brothers and sisters, by ending the divisions and hatreds created by our past and present elders. (Amen)

My work colleague is a "parishioner" what I mean is he is a Catholic, lives in your Parish and use your Club. With some prayers to the Holy Spirit he might well return to the family of God. I found the site one of the more informative and up to date of the Parish sites in Southwark. Keep up the good work.

It is now over three months sice the untimely death of my brother Christopher. He is still very much central in our thoughts and the memories of the wonderful love and support shown at his funeral will never be forgotton. To me Christopher was a very special brother and the love and afection shown at his funeral will forever remain with us as a family. In his memory at Christchurch Priory I, my wife,Pat and daughter Rebecca would very much like to "contribute" something in his memory and in particular to the Youth Group. Could some body please make a suggestion for the possible purchase of equipment or an anual donation towards a specific project etc. Any sugestions would be most welcome even if it is only for an annual celebration of the Eucharist in his memory. Thankyou all once again for all the love an support afforded to us all at his funeral and the ongoing support that youhave all given to Paul. Many thanks John Rea. PS I wonder what Chris would have made of the cuurent test series against Australia!?

I grew up in Bodmin so have very fond memories of the CRL. It is so sad that lack of vocations meant the order had to leave Bodmin. I remember Father Christopher from when I attended Bodmin's catholic primary school and was saddened to learn of his death when I attended mass on Easter Sunday back in Bodmin. I don't think it is any accident that people who were in my school class back then are still attending mass now, when so many people fall away as they get older. The inspiration of enthusiastic ambassadors for the faith such as Father Christopher was very important. Maybe when I am in the area sometime I'll get the opportunity to visit Eltham. Wishing parishioners and the Canons all the best. Dan
