Parish Priests

There have been only four Parish Priests serving Wanstead, Canon Basil Booker (1919-1952), Canon James Hemming (1952-1970), Monsignor Chris Creede (1970-2000) and Fr. Patrick Sammon from 2000 to the present day.

Since the early beginnings in 1919 the Parish has grown and developed into one of the largest in the Diocese.
