Sacred Heart Church (linked with St John Fisher Church, Prittlewell) is a parish of the Catholic Church, and part of the Diocese of Brentwood (England). As such, we exist to serve Jesus Christ by promoting the Gospel, by offering spiritual and pastoral care to Catholics in the Southend-on-Sea and Prittlewell areas, and by offering Christian charity to our neighbours. We do this in communion with the Pope and the wider Catholic Church, and in a spirit of loving co-operation with other Christians, with those of other faiths, and with all people of good will.
We are a Roman Catholic Church with a local congregation and therefore we "do what it says on the tin". Our liturgies err towards the contemporary rather than the traditional.
