St Matthew's Westminster




Welcome
St Matthew’s is a place at the heart of the city where you can discover worship, friendship and refreshment – in a word, community. We come from different places and diverse backgrounds. Some of us live in the parish, some travel miles. Some of us worship regularly on Sunday or when we can make it, others form part of our weekday community. Some of us are part of the wider virtual community. For all of us, St Matthew's is a place where we are nourished on our Christian pilgrimage and where we find church. Unconditional welcome and generous hospitality are at the heart of the Christian gospel. We try and live this through our worship, our learning together and our support for each other.
The church building is open everyday, and the rhythm of Mass, Morning and Evening Prayer is at the heart of our common life.
St Matthew’s Westminster is a church in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England where everyone is welcome, whatever their background. The church seeks to develop an understanding of community in the heart of the city through our threefold ministry of prayer, hospitality and dialogue. The daily rhythm of Eucharist, Morning and Evening Prayer is at the heart of our common life.
