A warm welcome from LGBT+ Catholics Westminster!
LGBT+ Catholics Westminster meet regularly as a community on the second and fourth Sundays at the 17.30 Mass at the beautiful church of the Immaculate Conception (also known as Farm Street Church), the Central London parish church.
We therefore next gather on Sundays 13 & 27 April and 11 & 25 May and for the 17:30 Mass at Farm St church, with refreshments in the Arrupe parish hall after Mass. All are welcome!
We look forward to welcoming anyone who has recently contacted us as a newcomer. Please do say hello and introduce yourself to an LGBT+ Catholics Pastoral Council Member before or after Mass at the back of the church so we can try and make you feel as welcome as possible.

We wish everyone a very blessed Easter! We both mourn the death of Pope Francis on 21 April 2025 and honour the way he led a profound improvement in how LGBT+ Catholics are listened to, accompanied and encouraged to express themselves within the Catholic church. Thank you Francesco! May you rest in peace and rise in glory. Read our statement here.

Who are we?
Being an LGBT+ Catholic can be a challenge. That's why we gather together to celebrate our faith and grow together. We are a diverse community of many nationalities, sexualities and backgrounds and are part of the RC Archdiocese of Westminster's pastoral provision to LGBT+ Catholics, their families and friends.
After Mass on the 2nd and 4th Sundays we provide refreshments and socialising after Mass. We run an active programme of pastoral and social activities including prayer groups, spirituality days, retreat days, participation in the Synod process and social activities.

The Church of the Immaculate Conception (also known as Farm St church) can be entered via Farm St or via Mount Street Gardens (opposite The Connaught Hotel on Mount St). Google map link is here. The address is 114, Mount Street, London W1K 3AH. Nearest tube: Green Park or Bond St. We look forward to meeting you and also your friends, partners and families.
