The parish of Our Lady of Sorrows & St Bridget of Sweden Isleworth is celebrating a centenary this year. The present church was opened in May 1909. But the Isleworth Catholic community is much older. It grew out of a domestic chaplaincy of the family of the Earls of Shrewsbury who owned a mansion in Isleworth from 1675, which some sources give as the origin of the parish. Surviving records show that a small community was certainly worshipping in the chapel within the mansion by the 1740s. This makes the Isleworth community one of the oldest in the diocese.

Dear new parishioner, you would be most welcome to join in the services and the social activities of the church. Please make yourself known to members of the community.

We call ourselves the Catholic community in Isleworth because we are a distinct body of people living in the locality who share certain religious beliefs and practices.

The Christian life is a mixture of the communal and the personal. The church facilitates both the communal and the personal through its public worship and through its teaching. Within the framework of weekly Sunday worship and the milestones in our spiritual life represented by the sacraments, we cultivate a personal relationship with Our Lord
