Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark is the Catholic Church in South London and Kent. It has 180 parishes, 169 schools, and is led by Archbishop John Wilson. The Archdiocese promotes the Word of God and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church in their parishes and schools, and in the good works carried out by the faithful, which range from supporting food banks, helping the homeless, promoting harmonious relationships, assisting refugees and immigrants, and supporting vulnerable people. They support the development of faith via the provision of youth services, Catholic formation and the promotion of justice and peace.

The Archdiocese of Southwark also supports the formation and training of men to the Roman Catholic Priesthood and Diaconate, to ensure there are priests for the future serving in Southwark parishes. They also care for the sick and elderly priests of the Archdiocese in their retirement, after they have dedicated their lives to Christ and His people.
