THE PARISH

St Patrick's stands appropriately in a street named 'The Vineyard' in the 18th century, and re-named Cornwall Road in more recent times. The small parish church rubs shoulders with

more illustrious buildings, such as the Festival Hall, the National Theatre, the Old Vic, Waterloo Station, and the Hayward Gallery, It is situated a mere stone's throw from the River Thames and the London Eye.

The church was opened by Cardinal Vaughan on All Saints Day, 1st November, 1897, in the presence of the Bishop Bourne of Southwark and the Duke of Norfolk.

Despite its humble and unpretentious exterior, St Patrick's cosy and intimate interior readily arouses devotion and prayerful worship.

This central London church is the spiritual home of an ethnic variety of parishioners, as well as a spiritual oasis for office workers and other commuters passing through Waterloo.
