St.Leonard's is the village church in what is still very much a village on the outskirts of St.Albans.
We aim to maintain our friendly and inclusive atmosphere in work, worship and recreation, and to be a place and a community where parishioners of all ages can find a welcome and a spiritual home.
We do not have a creche in a separate room; instead we have play-bags for use in the pews and a children's corner in the body of the church so that children can remain part of the congregation during worship.
Visitors are always welcome.
