@churchofengland we had our pet blessing service on Sunday at St Matthew’s and these were three of the fabulous canines in attendance! #NationalDogDay #GreatandSmall @SouthwarkCofE

Brilliant outdoor pet blessing service this morning including these fabulous three! @SouthwarkCofE

@CatsProtection Poppy and Dougal 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐾🐾

This Sunday at St Matthew’s, all welcome! 🐾 @SouthwarkCofE @ParkHillFriends @TowerTeas @Croydonist

Brilliant #MessyChurch at St Matthew’s this morning where we thought about the parable of the mustard seed and growing in faith @SouthwarkCofE

Tomorrow at St Matthew’s 10am-noon! @ParkHillFriends @TowerTeas @Croydonist

@TreasuryMog We are the staff of Poppy and Dougal, magnificent cats both #BlackCatAppreciationDay

Let's show the world how fantastic black cats are. We are often overlooked for adoption as people think we're boring. Share photos of your funny, quirky, cute and unique black cats. #BlackCatAppreciationDay

@TreasuryMog Agreed from Poppy and Dougal

It's #InternationalCatDay today. Let's walk around pretending we're kings and queens, oh wait, we do that everyday! All jokes aside, today is to celebrate cats and everything that is awesome about them.

#InternationalCatDay you say? Well we are the two best #clergycats (so we’re told) and also the most hardworking (we tell the humans/staff this). Happy Day everyone! @churchofengland @Number10cat #GreatandSmall

Really fun #MessyChurch today where we heard about Jesus calming the storm, had lots of seaside based activities, junk modelling, and of course sang My Lighthouse with actions! @SouthwarkCofE

Tomorrow!!! @SouthwarkCofE @ParkHillFriends #croydon

Always good to visit the mother ship aka @Southwarkcathed

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s a really full on role being the #vicaragecats, absolutely non stop I tell you #clergycats

@elismatthews Really good to meet you, thank you for being at the service

@Ruth_E_Chapman I'm coming, tfl allowing

We're offering a prayer vigil service tonight at 7pm at St Matthew's from Christian Aid and Embrace the Middle East for the Middle East Crisis. All welcome. 🙏🏻

Well, I certainly won’t be troubling the championships next year, but fun times playing tennis this afternoon in the parish #parkhillpark ! @ParkHillFriends @the_LTA

Happy Feast Day for the Apostle to the Apostles, St Mary Magdalene! (These pictures were taken in Magdala 2023)

Really looking forward to the new course starting at St Matthew’s in September - all welcome and any questions, please just ask! @SouthwarkCofE
