The West End Catholic Churches
- Our Lady of the Assumption and St Gregory
The four West End Churches are located in the heart of London, in Soho and Covent Garden. The unique mission of the Churches here is to be present and reach out to the 250 thousand people who pass by every day.
The history of the West End Catholic Churches is very colourful, and includes stories of Irish, Italian immigrants, French living in London. Presently the churches give home to French speaking African communities, Spanish, Brazilian, Chinese Catholics, and provide a place of worship to many visitors from all around the world.
The West End churches serve those few who live in the area but also those who work here. They reach out in many ways to the homeless, the poor and to those who are addicted to drugs, alcohol. Other different communities find here a home: young adults who want to deepen their faith, pray together, evangelize; just as gay people who can find encouragement and listening ears.
