Christ The King Parish, Cockfosters

Christ the King Parish is a Roman Catholic Parish in Cockfosters, which is run by the Chemin Neuf Community.

The Parish was founded in 1936 by Abbot Constantine Bosschaerts OSB, who was also the founder of the “Vita et Pax” Foundation. After 77 years of presence and dedicated service of the Benedictines of Monte Oliveto in Cockfosters, the monks decided to withdraw from the Parish.
When the Benedictine monks left the parish Cardinal Vincent Nichols asked the Chemin Neuf Community to run the Parish of Cockfosters. The members of the Chemin Neuf Community arrived in the parish on 1st September 2014 and started to run the parish.
The Chemin Neuf Community is a Roman Catholic Community with an ecumenical vocation, which grew out of a prayer group in Lyon, France, in 1973. It currently has around 2000 members in over 30 countries. Couples, families and celibates, men and women, have chosen the adventure of community life to follow Christ poor and humble, in order to serve the Church and the world.
