Please pray for this church and the church in general, particularly its leaders, as the search continues to seek a common way forward in faith for all of us.
The Feast of the Reading Martyrs is celebrated in S. Giles on 14 November each year, and there is a shrine to Blessed John Eynon in the church.
The history of S. Giles has led to a strong identification over many years with the catholic tradition in the Church of England. The church occupies part of the currently uneasy territory between the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church and longs for reconciliation between them. We believe that the Church of England needs catholic witness and understanding to fulfil its mission as a national church, and S. Giles sees its role as an upholder of what is sometimes mockingly called the traditionalist' faith, believed by all at all times.
The address of the church is S. Giles-in-Reading, Church Street, off Southampton Street, Reading RG1 2SB
