Sacred Heart and St John Fisher is a parish of the Catholic Church, and part of the Diocese of Brentwood (England). As such, we exist to serve Jesus Christ by promoting the Gospel, by offering spiritual and pastoral care to Catholics in the Southend-on-Sea and Prittlewell areas, and by offering Christian charity to our neighbours. We do this in communion with the Pope and the wider Catholic Church, and in a spirit of loving co-operation with other Christians, with those of other faiths, and with all people of good will.
