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.

Congratulations for our First Holy Communion children.

The children who received Holy Communion for the first time this year. May the Lord bless them and their families.

On behalf of the whole parish, a sincere thank you to all the formation guides who gave so generously of their time to prepare our children for the witness of their own faith.
