Church | St Matthew's Westminster

1/8

Welcome

St Matthew’s is a place at the heart of the city where you can discover worship, friendship and refreshment – in a word, community.

We come from different places and diverse backgrounds. Some of us live in the parish, some travel miles. Some of us worship regularly on Sunday or when we can make it, others form part of our weekday community. Some of us are part of the wider virtual community. For all of us, St Matthew's is a place where we are nourished on our Christian pilgrimage and where we find church. Unconditional welcome and generous hospitality are at the heart of the Christian gospel. We try and live this through our worship, our learning together and our support for each other.

The church building is open everyday, and the rhythm of Mass, Morning and Evening Prayer is at the heart of our common life.

Congratulations to our Assistant Priest, Fr John Henry, officially licensed by Bishop Sarah this morning

We welcome @PandaCup to our courtyard from Monday - Friday 8.00-15.00

Our choir have had a fabulous and very busy weekend singing in Salisbury Cathedral celebrating the work of Stanford, and those he influenced, on the Centenary of his death.

It was a joy to join the Cathedral Choirs (boys, girls and Lay Vicars) for services throughout the weekend, especially in concert and for the closing Choral Evensong of the festival singing Stanford’s Latin Magnificat, Holst’s Nunc Dimittis as well as Lord Thou Hast Been Our Refuge (Vaughan Williams) - an epic end to the festival.

We had a great celebration on Sunday as we welcomed Fr John Henry to join the clergy team, and also received David McDonough into full Communion of the Church of England.

This Saturday we welcome the Taillferre Ensemble to St Matthew’s.
The concert begins at 18.00.

Photographs of our Radio 3 Choral Evensong live broadcast.
With thanks to the team - choir, readers, Father Philip and especially, Nigel Groome (Directorof Music) and Roger Sayer (Organist)

We are looking forward to welcoming Rodney Earl Clarke (baritone) Lilia Donkova (violin) and Marina Savova (piano) to St Matthew’s on Saturday 25th November at 18.00. Ticket information to follow
