Friendship Groups

The Cathedral has a number of friendship societies and associations which meet regularly offering support and companionship. These are a lovely way to meet other parishioners and to be an active participant in the local community.


The Filipino Club

The Filipino Club at Westminster Cathedral (FCWC) is a social club that meets in the Hinsley Room on the first Sunday of each month from 1pm to 5pm.

The club welcomes all nationalities – you don’t need to be a Filipino to join.

There is a small membership fee of £15, payable annually.

Grandparents’ Association

The mission of the Catholic Grandparents’ Association is to help grandparents pass on the faith and keep prayer in the heart of family life. With over 40 regular members, we meet in the Hinsley Room, Morpeth Terrace from 12 noon to 3.30pm on the second Sunday of each month.

New members are always welcome – and you don’t need to have grandchildren to join – the CGA welcomes all parents.
