The Archdiocese of <strong>Southwark</strong>:<br />
Area Boundaries and Governance<br />
The Archdiocese of <strong>Southwark</strong> consists of three<br />
Episcopal Areas: South-West London, South-East<br />
London and Kent. Bishop Paul Hendricks held Episcopal<br />
responsibility for South-West London and, whilst<br />
awaiting the appointment of an Auxiliary Bishop, Fathers<br />
Victor Darlington and Marcus Holden undertook<br />
Episcopal responsibility for the South-East Area, whilst<br />
Mgr Canon John O’Toole served as Episcopal Vicar for<br />
Kent. Our clergy and lay-faithful continue to serve and<br />
worship Christ throughout 20 deaneries, 176 parishes<br />
and 165 schools across the South-east of England.<br />
<strong>Southwark</strong> is where English Christianity was born, and<br />
came into being through St Augustine who, following<br />
the commission of St Gregory the Great, arrived after a<br />
treacherous journey with 40 monks in what was the Isle of<br />
Thanet in 597 AD. Christianity then spread to the nearby<br />
town of Canterbury, where he baptised thousands on<br />
Christmas Day in 597, and eventually towards London.<br />
SOUTH-WEST AND<br />
SOUTH-EAST LONDON<br />
AREAS<br />
Augustine went on to become the first Archbishop of<br />
Canterbury when he remotely received a pallium: an<br />
ecclesiastical vestment which is bestowed by the Holy See<br />
upon Metropolitan Archbishops by the Pope as a symbol<br />
of their conferred jurisdictional authorities: this tradition<br />
continues today.<br />
<strong>Southwark</strong> continues to celebrate its unique heritage<br />
as well as its ongoing evolution: it ranges from<br />
inner London parishes to coastal churches and rural<br />
communities, and rejoices in its rich cultural and ethnic<br />
diversity. The clergy and staff of the Archdiocese of<br />
<strong>Southwark</strong> have worked diligently to support parishes<br />
and laity throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, with great<br />
hope in their hearts for global and local recovery, and a<br />
healthy future for all. <strong>Southwark</strong>’s rich history continues<br />
to progress under the pastoral leadership of Archbishop<br />
John Wilson.<br />
