Welcome to our Website!
"...JESUS CHRIST, THE BEGINNING AND THE END...
ALL TIME BELONGS TO HIM... AND ALL THE AGES..."
These words on the doors of the Church porch express perfectly the purpose of our parish. We are
a community centred round the Lord Jesus.
Saint Francis' Parish in the heart of Maidstone was founded in 1859 and since then has been the
heart of the Catholic community in the Maidstone area. From it was founded the parishes of Saint
Thomas More, West Malling; Holy Family, Park Wood; and Saint Peter's Bearsted. In addition to the
mother church there are Mass Centres at St Luke's, Preston Hall, and at St Mary's Anglican Church at
Nettlestead.
Today the faith which inspired its foundation almost 150 years ago continues to find its expression
in a lively community bringing together people of many races all united by their love of God. It is
this love which calls us all to work together to build up our community and to care for all in
need.
I would like to welcome all who visit our website and hope you share something of our vision for
the future of the church and parish.
Canon John Clark - Parish Priest
