THE PARISH OF CHRIST & ST JOHN WITH ST LUKE is the Anglican parish on the Isle of Dogs. We have two churches; Christ Church at the bottom of the island on Manchester Road and St Luke's at the corner of Havannah Street and Alpha Grove on the Barkantine estate. The congregations at our two churches come from many traditions and denominations and reflect the diversity of the Island's changing population. The focal point of our life together as a Christian community is the Parish Mass and you would be most welcome to join with us.

We have included on this site some of the key areas that make up our Parish life. The Parish Profile describes our life in more detail.

IF YOU HAVE BECOME disconnected with church then this is an opportunity to make a fresh start and reconnect with the church and with God.

We have detailed below the events that we will be running throughout over the weekend of 10th to 12th September at Christ Church and St Luke's Church to give people an opportunity to experience a different side of church and, if you reside in our parish, we would love you to be part of it.
