We're delighted to begin a new partnership with St Pancras New Church in Euston Road. Today Revd Lucy Winkett was licensed as Priest-in-Charge - the first step in an exciting journey together as Advent begins.

Reunited! GF Watts’ ‘Wife of Pygmalion’ and the bust that inspired it are together for the first time since 1868. I’m thrilled to have played a small part in the reunion.

A beautiful day of prayer and discussion with Sodality of Mary at Robert Thompson (he/him)’s parish today. So good to visit Our Lady of Kilburn and focus on liberation, holiness, and courage. Fr Simon Robinson SMMS
