Welcome to the Sacred Heart Wimbledon

The Sacred Heart Church, in Wimbledon, a Roman Catholic parish in the Archdiocese of Southwark, and until recently served by the Jesuits of the British Province, welcomes you to our website. As one of the largest parishes in England, we hope this site highlights the dynamic community that has been a place of worship for over a century. At the heart of our parish are the many people of all ages who work, study, pray and share their lives together. We invite and encourage you to explore, discover and visit the Sacred Heart.

Parish Appeal

   
The parish recently launched an appeal to fund vitally necessary repairs and conservation work on our church, to be carried out over the next 2 years at an estimated total cost of £1.7m.
For information about the need for serious maintenance work on the church,
why we have had to make this appeal and for more details please see  our Parish Appeal webpage
 
There is also a display at the back of the church, next to the stairs to the choir gallery, explaining the need for the appeal.
Please take time to look at it and take a leaflet.

Please contribute as much as you are able.
So far, generous contributions have raised over £60,000.
If you have any ideas for fund-raising events or activities please email  fundraisingevents@sacredheartwimbledon.org.uk or by letter to the presbytery.
