Parish Church and Pastoral Programme
The idea of a city-centre Jesuit church is a tradition going back to St Ignatius himself and Jesuit churches are to be found all over the world. A Jesuit church is a place of apostolic activity and spiritual peace; a place where the Gospel and the world encounter one another in fruitful dialogue. Farm Street is the central London church of the British Province of the Society of Jesus. It is also a parish church of the Archdiocese of Westminster. But it is a parish whose boundaries are virtually invisible and whose “parishioners” may only be “passing through”.
Fr. William Pearsall SJ
Fr. Anthony Meredith SJ
A church of stunning beauty with a renowned choral tradition and a sense of quiet dignity, it is also a lively centre of family life and Christian fellowship. And it is very active in charitable and social works at home and overseas.
There are regular Masses in Japanese, Portuguese and Tagalog.

Parish Team
The Liturgical year is observed with great care and the major celebrations are enhanced by outstanding music. There is also a full programme of talks, special presentations and concerts as well as preached missions, novenas, pilgrimages and other devotions. And there is the Winter Fair and the Summer Garden Party.
Details of all of these are announced in the parish newsletter and on the website throughout the year.
“Farm Street Films” runs on a fortnightly basis from September to Holy Week. FSF screens and discusses films that raise moral and ethical issues for contemporary Christian living.
The Society of St Vincent de Paul (SVP) meets every Monday night to distribute food and supplies among the street homeless.
The Bridge Club meets every Tuesday at 7pm: proceeds to Jesuit Refugee Service
