All Saints Pastoral Centre, owned by the Roman Catholic Church, is set in 70 acres of grounds on the southern outskirts of the cathedral city of St. Albans. The centre is built upon the reputed site of the capture of St. AIban, with his tomb in the St. Alban's cathedral. The beautiful chapel has a side altar to St. Alban. St. Alban being the patron saint of our Church, it would therefore seem that this venue is most apposite for our Church's use. The centre is about 40 minutes by Motorway from Heathrow Airport.
