We hold to the teachings of the Catholic Church, passed down to us from Jesus and the first Christians.
We believe that the wisdom of the Church can help us to live meaningful and truly happy lives today.
Open House is our service to the homeless people of central London.
As central London has one of the highest rates of homelessness in the UK, the gospel compels us to help these people in any way that we can.
We all need to create space to listen for the voice of God in our lives, only then we will be able to hear where He is calling us.
Our ministries serve the varied material and spiritual needs that we encounter here at St Patrick’s.
Everything that we do is the fruit of our time spent with Jesus. As Catholics, we believe that in the Holy Mass, the bread and wine become the real body and blood of Christ - the Eucharist.
Eucharistic Adoration is a way of praying with Jesus in His real presence.
The St Patrick’s Church that we know today was consecrated on the 29th of September, 1792 and was likely one of the first Catholic parishes established after practising Catholicism was made legal again in England.
The patron saints of our parish are depicted in a set of magnificent, new, stained-glass windows which were designed by artist Vivienne Haig.
These six saints relate to the history, spirituality and mission of our church and are patrons of the work carried out here today.
Parish Priest
I have been the parish priest of St Patrick’s, Soho Square for twenty years and I love being parish priest here because it’s a place where the gospel is very raw. The challenges facing the Church and the proclamation of the gospel in a place like this are very much in your face. Our church is a place of healing, a place of mercy, from which we reach out to many of our brothers and sisters.
Parish Operations Manager
I have been the Parish PA at St Patrick’s for over 10 years. I enjoy my work very much as I find that I am in a unique position to organise our many outreach programmes which helps a lot of vulnerable people whilst also facilitating the smooth running of the parish office - so no two days are ever the same!
Evangelisation Associate
I am a real people person, which is probably due in no small part to my being of New Zealand extraction. Engaging with parishioners and the public is an integral part of my role at St Patrick's and I encounter some amazing people on a daily basis. There is so much variety in my job and I am truly blessed to be able to do it in such a spiritual setting.
Our church is powered by people who give generously of their gifts and time.
