Church of the Assumption of Our Lady

The inside of this church is beautiful.

Beautiful Chrismas concert with local school choir, brass ensemble, local choral society, youth music groups and other local grown talent. Lovely evening hosted by Father Collin. Helped make Christmas. Thankyou.

A beautiful friendly church that's just been totally renovated.Father Colin is a natural, friendly and kind. God has truly blessed Torquay with this Church and Father Colin. ✝️

If away and your Roman catholic and want to go to mass this is the one just 10 minute walk from the hotel barrcombe hotel

A beautiful little church. I was visiting for the first time and a newcomer to Torquay. As someone who, by preference, attends the old rite of Mass, and the liturgy of whose home parish is done very beautifully, it is always with a degree apprehension that I visit a new church; I have experienced liturgical anarchy and liturgies barely recognisable as Catholic. However, the parish priest, Fr Colin Groombridge, was properly vested, had a well-trained young altar server (who did however bow repeatedly to the altar whilst ignoring the tabernacle!) and said the novus ordo Mass in a correct, thoughtful, prayerful and reverent manner. He preached a good sermon with the Gospel text of the day as his theme. I was disappointed by the use made of an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist. There were, I guess, at most 40-50 people in the congregation; there appeared to be, in addition to Fr Groombridge, another ordained minister in the sanctuary; he was vested in what looked like a dalmatic so I guess he was a deacon. There appeared to be no extraordinary circumstance that would justify the use of an Extraordinary Minister.My comments relate to the Saturday evening vigil Mass. I understood from the parish website that there would be no Sunday morning Mass in the church in this particular weekend. It seems that the priest alternates between two churches, but I may be wrong about this.

ASSUMPTION of our LADY"..On the 9th day of September 2022 at 12:00 noon the church bell rang for twenty one minutes to commemorate the departure of HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II at 96 years of age

A wonderful welcome on arrival and found the people very friendly indeed. A real family atmosphere about the place. I would recommend this fellowship to anybody feeling lonely or isolated.

Welcoming!Such a nice congregation to pray with!Church very airy, light and decor keeping you in focus to LISTEN.
