St Anselm’s Church Hayes Celebrates its 80th Anniversary Patronal Service

On Monday St Anselm’s Church in Hayes town centre celebrated its 80th anniversary patronal service. It is the 900 year anniversary of the death of the church’s patron saint and the church was founded on this date in Hayes in 1929. St Anselm’s is a beautiful building and is one of the secret architectural jewels of our area. It has fantastic acoustics and over the years there have been some delightful musical performances in the building. The church currently hosts Hayes FM in its side rooms and has opened its doors to many other local community groups. The whole church, both priest and parishioners, work hard to foster this spirit of community service and involvement. I interviewed Susan Chick, who is a really hard working active member of the church.
