St Antony of Padua, Forest Gate

Sadly had to go for a funeral. Service was very well arranged with the guides to show us our places and how to get around. And they followed all the rules on social distancing and marked out the spaces for sitting . lovely church which I had first attended many years ago .

Plenty of hymn books. On the day we attended there was no music so hymns were sung acapella. A young priest but well executed. This Church is very large and regal, almost Cathedral like. Very popular with the black community of Newham

My parish church, I'm bias. Peace and special place to visit. She's a beautiful building that in need all TLC. Upkeep is very difficult with pandemic meant the vulnerable were not able to attend. Parish funds declined.

Most inspiring and spirit filled catholic community I have ever been a part of. Brothers of St John who serve in the parish are absolutely fantastic. They are most humble and postive priests who can serve as role models for many others. The parish community welcomes everyone, with open arms, no questions or judgements. There are various groups active that offer a variety of events and social gatherings praising Lord and cherishing our faith and each other. Local catholic schools work very closely with the parish and get children and parents very involved in worship. If you have lost your way, or feel like God is far....come over, you will find a warm welcome and a new purpose. You will find your way back to your Father who loves you.

Go there most nights with my daughter after picking her up from school,she loves it,quiet,peaceful& feel much better when we come out.

Lovely Mass every Sunday Morning 🌄 10am Beautiful Sounds of Children Singing ♥️ Songs 🎵 Amen 🙏

Part of my walk down memory lane, a lovely Catholic Church, last in there some 55 years ago.

I love the Church, the people the Fathers and the Church quire. It really is an amazing Church and very special to me.
