A warm welcome from all at St Pancras, whether you are a new parishioner, a returning parishioner, or a visitor.

Deum diligere et quae sunt Dei.

‘To love God and the things of God.’

A Catholic parish has just two purposes, namely to give glory to Almighty God, and to work and pray for the sanctification and salvation of souls. Our parish church, St Pancras, is a sacred space, consecrated to the worship of God, where sins are forgiven and souls are sanctified and saved by the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ poured into our souls through the Sacraments. Through the Church’s liturgy, through our prayers and devotions, through our virtuous deeds, and through learning more about the Catholic Faith, we, in turn, can nurture a deeper love of God and the things of God. Through these things, and by seeking the things that are above and by storing up treasures in heaven (Col 3:1; Mt 6:20), we are lifted up to a supernatural plane and become ‘partakers of the divine nature’ (2 Peter 1:4).  

Our church is open from approximately 7am to 7pm every day. See below for times of Masses and Confessions, and see our newsletter for full details.
