Welcome to the Parish of Chingford. We are made up of two churches, Ss Peter & Paul (the Parish Church) and All Saints (affectionately known as the Old Church).
We are a friendly, active, and inclusive parish rooted in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England. The Parish has a full complement of services, with Mass and Morning and Evening Prayer said daily.
We are a parish community in Chingford and our mission is to share the experience of the love of God in Jesus Christ with all people through worship, education and service.
We hope you find our web site useful and look forward to welcoming you to one of our churches.
Forthcoming Events
We’re on BBC Radio 2!
On Thursday 24th November, the congregation and choir of Chingford Parish Church recorded the music for two episodes of BBC Radio 2’s “Sunday Half Hour” which will be broadcast at 8.30pm during Advent on December 11th 2011 and during Lent on March 4th 2012.
More than 60 boys, girls and men of the choir recorded six hymns and two anthems. "How Lovely are the Messengers" by Mendelssohn will be broadcast during the Advent episode and “Nolo Mortem Peccatoris” by Morley will be broadcast during the Lent episode.
Recording for the BBC was a real honour and is testimony to the tireless effort of Mike Emerson, Director-of-Music and dedication of the choir. The boys and girls who make a huge contribution attending two rehearsals and one or two services nearly every week of the year. The motivation of our youth to perform new and challenging sacred music week-in, week-out is a real success story and beacon of hope within our Borough.
The Choir was led by Director-of-Music, Mike Emerson with organ accompaniment by Simon Hogan (Organ Scholar at St Paul’s Cathedral) and Rory Thorndyke.
