Welcome

Mother Sarah Howard-Jones, Vicar

We aim to be an inclusive Christian community that shares God’s unexpected, joyful and life-changing hospitality — with one another, our neighbours, and those on the margins.

Our worship is in the modern Catholic tradition of the Church of England. We follow the seasons of the liturgical year, are fed by the sacraments, and are committed to music as part of worship, seeking to encounter God in and through a warm and dignified liturgy. Whether you have a strong faith, none, or something in between, we welcome you.

Every Sunday there is Noisy Mass for under-5s, Children’s Church and a Youth Group — and children are welcome at all our services.
