Welcome to St Matthew's

About Us

We at Tilma Parish are a faithful and Christ Centred community, located in the neighbourhood of Fleetwood, in the City of Surrey. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we are called to holiness by sharing our joy of the Good News.

Formed in 1983, our brothers and sisters come from many diverse backgrounds, ethnicities and ages. Our parish provides the opportunity to regularly celebrate the Eucharist together along with other sacraments. Ongoing fellowship is encouraged through 32+ interest groups for every stage of life. We also have three thriving Catholic Schools - a pre-school, an Elementary School and a High School.

We continue to share and grow in our love for Jesus is a life-long journey together. We seek to be holistic and inclusive by supporting each other and working together for the betterment of our community within and at large. We strive to be welcoming to those who do not know Jesus, embracing diversity, caring for the needy, serving one another and being strong stewards to our community.
