About Us
Our Community
We are home to a diverse and multicultural congregation. The Parish has a BAME majority community with almost half of the population born outside England; more than 89 languages are spoken here.
Our Tradition
We are a faithful church in the Open Catholic tradition; an inclusive church where everyone is welcome. We love our music both in our regular services and in community concerts.
Our Values
We are confident in speaking the Gospel of Jesus Christ, compassionate in serving communities with the love of God the Father, and creative in reaching new people and places.
Our Heritage
Consecrated in 1841, our Grade II listed building features beautiful architecture and stained glass. We are good at hospitality, welcoming and valuing all people.
