Denomination: Roman Catholic
Welcome to Our Lady of the Rosary, Brixton
We welcome you to our beautiful 19th-century church designed by Arthur J. Phelps, as Brixton Independent Church, damaged in WW2 and reopened in 1953 as a Catholic Church.
This Church has had a long history of service to the local community here in Brixton and in the Archdiocese of Southwark. I find it a great honour to serve as Parish Priest of this historic parish.
Things visible and beautiful like the Church, serves as great and amazing testimonies to our faith and to the great and extraordinary people who sacrificed so much over the years and centuries to build it up. But also things that are not quite visible like our faith history, remembering ordinary simple and unsung Catholics from all places, who worked very hard to build this parish and all the structures, including the founders, the Neo-catechumenate community, and parishioners who helped build St. Helen’s Catholic Primary School, Brixton.
We have a fantastic legacy of living our simple everyday lives, helping one another in all the circumstances of life and faith, showing love to the needy, feeding the poor and caring for our senior citizens. My role and that of the Curate is to serve you and help you during our time here and to work with you to leave a legacy for the Catholics of the future.
Each generation brings new challenges and we hope to use a new and fresh approach to bring the word of God to people's lives. We invite you to avail our parish of your great talents and gifts to help us deliver on our parish vision and goals. Find yourself a place in the many ministries and service areas in our Church.
I look forward to hearing from you, seeing you and talking to you.
