Whether your little one is a budding musician, a story lover, or a dinosaur enthusiast, this children’s concert is a fantastic way to introduce them to the magic of live music. So, get practising those dino dance moves and loud roars, as you’ll be singing, stomping, and boogying your way through Eliza’s adventures!

Wednesday, 28 October | 10 AM

Join us as we celebrate the feast of Simon and Jude, Apostles of Christ, with Mass at 10 AM.

Little is known about either of these saints, other than being referenced as Apostles in the New Testament. They are both, however, remembered for their preaching in Mesopotamia and for their perseverance in the face of difficult circumstances; remembering them may help us grow in confidence to spread the word of God in our turn.

All are warmly welcome to join us. 🙏🏽

Spring 2027

We're considering organising a bike ride from St John's to Brighton in Spring 2027, in support of St John's and TLG – the charity that runs alongside our Messy Meals programme.

Don't worry if you're not up for the full distance – there will be options to join for just part of the route, and we'd love to see younger members of our community get involved too! We'll be keeping the route nice and flat, so no need to be a pro!
