Ditton Catholic Community (Click here to see photos)
The Chapel of Saint Vincent de Paul is served from Our Lady and the English
Martyrs, and is used for the celebration of Mass on Sundays, 10.15a.m.; and
Holydays of Obligation, 19.00hrs (7.00p.m.).
The chapel is a timber building clad with corrugated iron with wooden windows
and shutters, and the heating is provided by wall mounted electric fires. The
interior had been modernised and has a lovely comfortable, happy family
atmosphere.
We have a regular attendance of approximately 80 people. There is a good mix of
ages ranging from the very young to the more senior members of the community.
Young mothers and fathers who bring their children on a regular basis love to
help and they run their own children's liturgy group. At the beginning of
Sunday Mass the children retire to the sacristy where they are taught by
willing and loving parents and teachers.
The maximum capacity of the chapel is just over 100, and at both Christmas and
Easter attendance reaches that number. We always try to welcome newcomers and
visitors remembering the Commandment 'Love your neighbour'. Counselling,
including bereavement counselling, is available. As a community of faith we try
to follow the example of our Saviour and to share his gentle, embracing love to
all. Rev. A. J. Norththrop, who is a permanent Deacon, lives locally and is
always available.
The Roman Catholic Community of Ditton has very good relationships with all the
other Christian denominations in the area, and both participates in and hosts
meetings between the Anglican, Methodist, and Baptist churches. We seek to grow
in a Christian love that is genuine and active.
The chapel is approximately two and a half miles from the centre of
St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Chapel
