Serving at the altar allows, in a privileged way, young and old alike to draw closer to Jesus, to be open to him and to others.  Through this ministry, the altar server journeys together with others. Altar servers represent a long liturgical tradition, carrying out their ministry within the Parish to enhance the quality of celebration, ensuring that everything needed for the services are available at the appropriate moments.

If you would like to serve at Mass, please contact

To offer hospitality is a strong message contained in the gospels. Our hospitality group of men and women ensures that on occasions during the year, good hospitality and welcome is delivered after Masses or for parish celebrations. Teas and coffees are served after the 11:00 Sunday Mass at St Edwards in the Parish Centre, and after the 09:30 Mass at St Mark’s on the first Sunday of every month.

To get involved please contact Linda Mullan via the Parish office: parishoffice@catholicwindsor.org

This is one of the less public ministries of the Church but provides a valuable service. In both Ascot and Windsor, we have a band of helpers who diligently keep our churches clean and welcoming to visitors.

If you could offer some of your time on a regular basis or just occasionally that would be wonderful. Please contact the Parish office to support. 

The Parish outreach group consists of a small group of people with the aim of reaching out into our community, who may not be catholic or who have laps. We do this by posting a small postcard through doors within our community. This card contains information and a contact point for those who feel the need for us. Each week we offer prayers to the communities of Windsor and Ascot and a candle will be lit for that street. Please feel free to ask for your street to be prayed for. Father David will filter and respond to each case.

Flower arranging takes place behind the scenes but would be noticeable by its absence. The flowers reflect the liturgical year; they enhance worship and prayer and bring joy to the liturgy of our Church. If you would like to volunteer we would love your support.

Our Stewards welcome people to Mass and can also be asked to open and lock the Church, as well as being present for other services and functions that happen during the course of the year.
