The Society under the patronage of Saint Wilfrid and Saint Hilda is a network of parishes and bishops within the Church of England dedicated to maintaining catholic faith, worship and ministry in the historic apostolic succession.
Our parish is affiliated to The Society, and therefore comes under the pastoral and sacramental care of the Bishop of Richborough.
Through his oversight we receive priests who are ordained and commissioned within that succession, ensuring continuity with the wider Church throughout the ages.
This relationship strengthens our worship and witness, so that all who gather here may share the sacraments with confidence.
As an affiliated parish of the Society, we continue to be registered with Forward in Faith, which is now acting as the administrative and financial arm of The Society. The parish also continues to support the work of Foward in Faith Guildford and is keen to offer support to others in the Diocese who may feel isolated or marginalised as members of its 'traditionalist' constituency.
