About Our Church
Saint Aidan's church was consecrated on July 11, 1959. Since then it
has aimed to be a focus for Anglo-Catholic worship bringing the
message of Christ's Salvation to the Newparks community through
beauty in worship and outreach to our local area.
We are part of the Church of England Diocese of Leicester and are under the pastoral care of the Bishop of Richborough. We are one of
the parishes affiliated to 'The Society' (under the
patronage of Saint Wilfrid and Saint Hilda) which promotes and
maintains catholic teaching and practice within the Church of
England.
We are committed to the catholic faith as the Church of England
received it, and we proclaim it afresh in this generation.
We take pride in being a welcoming church. Whoever you are, come,
come as you are. Worship with us on Sundays at 10 am and join us
afterwards for light refreshments and fellowship.
Children are welcome - and, we don't mind when they are
noisy.
We are fully committed to the safeguarding of
children, young people and adults. We follow all church and national
policies and one of our parochial council members is our
Safe-guarding Officer.
We are in interregnum at the moment as we await the appointment of a
new parish priest. Until that joyful day we are blessed by the
leadership or Fr. Alan Hawker SSC who is helping us rebuild after the
long period of closure during the Pandemic.
As we try to get back to get back on our feet we continue to develop.
Music and singing are now part of our Sunday mass and we have
re-introduced a monthly weekday mass. This is at 10 am on the first
Wednesday of the month. Come and join us and help us rebuild!
