Welcome to our first newsletter for 2024

We have recently updated our website lectiodivinia.com.au to include a newsletter, video library of previous Lectio recordings and interesting articles by Bishop David Walker and our community.

Welcome. If this is your first time here, we would like to especially welcome you to Farm Street, our vibrant and engaging Catholic parish in the heart of London. 

We aim to welcome all who come to our church to share in our faith and fellowship. Please do introduce yourself to a member of the clergy. You will always be most welcome here. (Fr. Dominic Robinson, SJ Parish Priest)

Looking forward to the exciting year ahead,
