Serving the Communities of New Parks,
Braunstone Frith and Kirby Frith

Saint Aidan's Church stands in the heart of the New Parks Estate, about 3 miles from the city centre of Leicester.

We welcome you to our web-site where you will be able to see a snap shot of our Christian life together. Standing proudly and very firmly within the Catholic Tradition of the Church of England, we aim to proclaim the love of God to the people that we serve. We are a growing, young and lively congregation of all ages who seek God's will in an evermore complex and challenging world.

We are a very busy congregation and here you will be able to see many of the social as well as spiritual events held here throughout the year as well as details of forthcoming events that happen in New Parks and especially at Saint Aidan's.

Have a look below to see who we are and what we do!

Growth

In the last two and a half years, the congregation has grown considerably. Last year we had a confirmation with the Bishop of Richborough that saw 28 candidates confirmed in one go. This was the largest to date that the Bishop had performed at that time in any one Church.

APLUS

is the fellowship of young families that has grown over 200% in the last 2 years. We average between 20 and 30 children at Mass each Sunday and similar numbers at After School Church on a Thursday afternoon.

Bucking the trend?

Not only is our growth surprising to many who only hear about Church attendance in decline, but our congregation is both young and vibrant - the average age being much lower than the national average. Believing and belonging are going together well in New Parks.

Anglo Catholic?

Standing proudly and very firmly within the Catholic Tradition of the Church of England, we aim to proclaim the love of God to the people that we serve on the outer estates of Leicester.
