St Cuthbert’s Philbeach Gardens in Earls Court will welcome its new parish priest on Wednesday.
Wednesday 20 March is St Cuthbert’s Day when the Bishop of London will license Paul Bagott as Priest-In-Charge.
The Pontifical High Mass is at 7pm and will be followed by refreshments in the Philbeach Hall.
The patronal festival in the beautiful church can be expected to mark the start of a period of renewal in a parish which is about to see great change as the famous exhibition centre is replaced by housing.
