Are you ready to take the next step in your journey of faith?

This autumn, we are launching a new sacramental preparation programme at Hemel East, led by our team of catechists. If you are in Year 9 or above, we would love to welcome you and accompany you as you explore your faith, deepen your relationship with Jesus and discover what receiving the sacraments could mean for your life.

Our vision at Hemel East is to bring people to Jesus, form disciples, and send them to transform the world. This guides all of our actions, the decisions we make, and where we concentrate our efforts.

Thank you all! Our pilgrimage to Lourdes was a deeply moving and faith-filled experience that strengthened our relationship with God and created lasting friendships.

Serving as volunteers, we joined pilgrims from around the world in prayer, reflection, and acts of compassion. Lighting candles and carrying the prayers of our parish to the Grotto was a particularly meaningful moment.

There are documents that arrive quietly. And then there are documents that land like a stone in still water, sending ripples across the entire Church and beyond. Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical signed on 15 May 2026, is the second kind.
