Fr. Lixson Cyriac O.F.M Cap. (The Order of Friars Minor Capuchin). We are a small and welcoming community.

The church dates back to the early 1900s. The parish serves a diverse community of people of all ages and backgrounds. We come together, not only to pray, worship and share the sacraments together, but also to celebrate high feasts and social events, see our events page.

Please explore the website, it serves as a guide / information hub, but most of all, please come and visit us at St. Simon & St. Jude R.C. Join us in worship, prayer and thanksgiving to our Lord, and being a vibrant community in Christ at the center of London.

Concerning Measures to be put in place regarding Public Worship and the Celebration of the Sacrament in relation to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic.

As we face together the unusual situation in England and Wales of not being able to attend public worship due to the present health crisis, we would like to offer parishioners in Southwark and beyond a number of helpful resources to continue their prayer life and connect to the Catholic community.

Coronavirus Guidelines - Southwark Diocese click here for updates and information The Catholic Bishops' Conference has issued guidelines about the Coronavirus in order to enable Catholic churches and organisations to find relevant information. At the time of writing, the risk to the public from coronavirus remains low in England and Wales.

Because this is a rapidly changing situation, these guidelines may evolve as the situation changes. In the meantime, it is very important to read these guidelines and to check the latest guidance from Government. Hygiene Measures - The CBCEW guidance focuses on the hygiene measures needed to disrupt the spread of coronavirus should we get a number of cases in England and Wales. As Catholics we reiterate the commitment of the Church to health care ministry. Ensuring we disrupt the spread of the virus is key.
The global spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a fast-evolving situation.
In response to the Coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19), so many aspects of our lives must change. This includes the ways in which we publicly express our faith. It is very clear that, following official advice and in order to keep each other safe, save lives and support the NHS, at this time we must not gather for public acts of worship in our churches. This will begin from Friday evening, 20^th March 2020, until further notice.
