St Leonard's, Sandridge

St.Leonard's is the village church in what is still very much a village on the outskirts of St.Albans.
We aim to maintain our friendly and inclusive atmosphere in work, worship and recreation, and to be a place and a community where parishioners of all ages can find a welcome and a spiritual home.

We do not have a creche in a separate room; instead we have play-bags for use in the pews and a children's corner in the body of the church so that children can remain part of the congregation during worship.

This webpage is still in the process of completion.For more details of specific areas of parish life please see the link pages at the bottom of this page.
