WHO WE ARE
Fidelium is a lay-led network of young Anglo-Catholic Christians (18–35) in London and beyond, under the patronage of the Bishop of Fulham.
Our goal is to build a thriving community for young adults drawn to the beauty of Catholic worship, the depth of tradition, and the richness of faith within the Church of England. Being a young Anglo-Catholic can sometimes feel isolating, especially in parishes with few young people. Fidelium seeks to change that—offering a space to connect, grow in faith, and take an active part in the wider Anglo-Catholic movement. Whether you are deeply rooted in the tradition or just beginning to explore it, you are warmly welcome to get involved.
WHAT WE DO
We organise a range of initiatives to help young adults grow in faith, build community, and deepen their engagement with the Church, supported by our network of parish representatives.
Our events range from communal sacramental worship—such as Mass and Benediction—to theological talks, discussions, and social gatherings. We also run an online Rosary group to connect members beyond London. A key part of our mission is appointing young adults from local congregations to serve as Fidelium parish representatives. By acting as a bridge between Fidelium and their churches, our reps provide a welcoming point of contact for new faces and support young people both within their parishes and across the wider Fidelium network.
OUR PATRONAGE
Fidelium is under the patronage of the Bishop of Fulham, who oversees traditionalist parishes in the dioceses of London and Southwark.
We recognise that our members hold a range of views regarding the ordination of women to the priesthood and episcopate. While Fidelium does not take a corporate position on Holy Orders, we are committed to offering a consistent sacramental life where all members can approach the sacraments with confidence and integrity. To this end, we are affiliated with Bishop Jonathan and receive the ministry of traditionalist priests, ensuring that all who worship with us do so in unity, with confidence, and with a shared sacramental understanding. Whatever your personal convictions, you are warmly welcome at Fidelium.
