Today, Fr Gregory, Br Nhan, and a parishioner from Sacred Heart ran a half‑marathon in Battersea Park to support fundraising for our Salesian Summer Camp.
In a wonderful surprise, Fr Gregory finished first in his very first half‑marathon.
Thank you to everyone who has supported our fundraising efforts. If you would like to contribute to the summer camp for our young people, please follow the link below.

On Friday 29 May, the GBR province was able to celebrate the Perpetual Profession of Br Andre Kankwenda Kabangu SDB.
The service was celebrated by Fr Pascual Chavez SDB, Rector Major Emeritus, concluding the week long retreat.
Fr Pascual led the Salesians through the retreat, and we are very thankful for his input, leadership and friendship throughout the week.
We pray for Br Andre as he continues his vocational journey as a Salesian.
