HM THE QUEEN'S PLATINUM JUBILEE
St John's marked the Platinum Jubilee of our late Queen in style! Celebrations began on 1st June with an evening reception and the unveiling of our Jubilee stained glass windows. Called 'Flowers of the Commonwealth' the windows were produced Reyntiens Glass Studio (who also installed HM The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Window in Westminster Hall). Many of St John's congregation have strong Caribbean roots and the design of the windows incorporates many flowers from the Caribbean islands. The occasion was attended by the Bishop of London and local dignitaries.
On Sunday 5th June the 11.00am mass was followed by a well-attended bring and share lunch and Choral Evensong. The service featured the parish children's choir and a blessing of the windows by the Bishop of Fulham.
Our thanks are extended to everyone who made our Jubilee weekend a special happy memory. Most of all, we thank Her Majesty for her 70 years of service to the nation.
6th February: Accession Day Mass
On 6th February St John's celebrated the 70th anniversary of HM The Queen's accession to the throne. A special mass was held followed by a ceremonial tree planting in the church grounds. The planting ceremony included the installation of two cherry trees as part of the Sakura Cherry Tree Project.
The project will be a legacy of the Japan-UK Season of Culture which will see the planting of 6,000 trees across the UK.
