Community & Outreach

Loving our neighbour

The Gospel calls us beyond our walls. Across the parish we open our halls, share meals and offer a warm welcome to all who need company and care.

Faith works through love. As a parish we are woven into the life of Elstree and Borehamwood — through simple hospitality, practical help and steady friendship. Everyone is welcome at everything we do; you need not be a churchgoer to belong.
