We are the worshipping community of the Church of England Parish of Colindale, seeking to serve the community of Colindale and provide a warm and welcoming place for the worship of God in word and sacrament. Our Sunday Parish Mass is at 11.00am, with hymns, organ music, incense and a sermon. On weekdays, Mass is celebrated at various times every day except Monday. For details check the weekly news sheet on this website or on our Facebook page.

Our church building is a beautiful and important example of 1970s sacred architecture, full of space and light, a place of serenity and contemplation. The church is open for prayer every day from approximately 9am to dusk.
