St Hilda’s This Week

Congregation on Easter Day

Hello Everyone and Welcome to Our Site.
St Hilda’s is the Parish Church of Crofton Park. We are a freindly and diverse congregation  with a broad outlook, worshipping and teaching  in the ‘Catholic Tradition’ of the Church of England, and playing our part in our area.

Here are this week’s news and activities

A big thank you to  our visitors from Sweden and their beautiful singing last week.
