WELCOME

Welcome to our parish website, here at St Vincent de Paul we strive to unit our local community in our weekly masses as well as the many services we provide through our ministries. Our parish comes under the Diocese of Brentwood, led by our Bishop, The Rt Rev Alan Williams.

Saint Vincent’s Catholic Primary school is also part of our parish. If you would like to know more about the deep and vibrant history of our Patron Saint, Church and Catholic faith, please select the HISTORY tab on the top menu screen. There is also our NEWSLETTER, CALENDAR and EVENTS section where you can find the latest updates, you may also wish to DONATE to our Parish.

People visit St Vincent, Becontree, for its rich historical and spiritual significance. As the first Catholic place of worship on the Becontree Estate, it holds a unique place in the history of the Catholic Church in the area. The church played a foundational role in establishing the Catholic community in Becontree and Dagenham, serving as the "mother parish" for several other parishes in the region.

DEAR LORD - GUIDE US ON OUR JOURNEY AS PILGRIMS OF HOPE

Scripture Reading - 1 Thessalonians 5:23

May the God of peace make you perfect and holy; and may your spirit, life and body be kept blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

WEEKDAY MASS

Reflection of Readings - Sunday 22nd March. The 5th Sunday of Lent, Year A.

Today’s Gospel presents us with one of the most powerful stories: Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. This story helps us remember that even when everything feels lost, God can still bring life. Jesus shows He has power over death and that He brings hope to those who trust Him. He is the Resurrection and the Life.

Entering Holy Week Together

As we approach the most sacred days of our Christian year: Holy Week beginning on Sunday 29th March – We are invited to walk closely with Christ—from His triumphant entry into Jerusalem to the glory of the Resurrection. These days are rich with grace, reflection, and renewal, and they offer us a profound opportunity to deepen our faith as a parish family.
