Welcome to the rich and diverse parish community of Our Lady of Lourdes, Wanstead. We hope that this will be a spiritual home of faith and hope for you; a sanctuary where everyone can encounter Christ, grow in the life of grace and know that they are loved and forgiven.
In December 1917, at the invitation of Fr O’Grady, the Sisters of Mercy, opened their convent in Cambridge Park, the stables being converted into a temporary Church.
Later, the foundation stone of Our Lady of Lourdes Wanstead was blessed by Arthur Doubleday, the then Bishop of Brentwood, in July 1927.
The Church has been sustained by the people of God here in Wanstead for 100 years. Long may the faith continue to grow and thrive here.
