Welcome to the Cathedral Parish of St Mary and St Helen which sits proudly at the heart of the Diocese of Brentwood, a large and diverse diocese that stretches from rural north Essex to the heart of the East End of London.
Parish Bazaar Planning
I know this is only the middle of the summer, but forward planning is extremely important. I have set a date for a Bazaar Committee Meeting for Friday 19th September 2025 at 7.30pm in the Small Hall. We had a truly wonderful and successful Bazaar last year. A real family occasion for the whole parish community. If you’re going away on holiday, and think about bringing a bottle or two back, please think of the Bazaar. Thank you!
