I'm New to Our Lady of Good Counsel, Surrey. Where Do I Start?

Welcome to the parish community! We’re so glad you’ve decided to join us. If you haven’t already, say hi to our Father John -- our parish priest -- and our other Salesian priests. They would love to meet you!

Attend any of our masses for the week! Arrive early and come in for prayer and confession because doors open early before Mass starts. Various ministries are available in the parish, so please don’t hesitate to ask any of our ushers, mass leaders, and volunteers about ways to get involved and stay connected.

Here at Our Lady of Good Counsel, we want to love God, love one another, and make the name of Jesus known!

Unafraid to Change: pursuing holiness individually, as families and in a community
