We are a Roman Catholic parish serving the communities of Stroud Green, Crouch End and Hornsey.
The parish was founded by the Augustinians – Canons Regular of the Lateran or CRL in 1884. Today we are part of the Archdiocese of Westminster.
Locally, we are part of Haringey Deanery which comprises St Peter’s and the parishes of Our Lady of Muswell, Muswell Hill; St. Francis de Sales, Tottenham; St. Ignatius, Stamford Hill; St. John Vianney, West Green and St. Paul the Apostle, Wood Green. We also have good links with the adjacent Anglican parishes.
