Verulam House Care Home, in the heart of the cathedral city of St Albans, Hertfordshire, is an oasis of calm in a busy and vibrant city.

We're so grateful for our wonderful connection with St Albans Cathedral. ❤️
Each week, residents enjoy Holy Communion on Tuesdays at 3:30pm, providing a special time for reflection, prayer, and fellowship. On Wednesday mornings at 11:00am, our Home Group comes together for discussion, friendship, and shared faith.
And let's not forget our regular Sunday morning Cathedral live stream, which allows residents to join in worship and remain connected with the wider Cathedral community from the comfort of home.
These valued visits and services bring comfort, companionship, and spiritual support to many of our residents. Thank you to everyone at the Cathedral for being such an important part of our community. 🙏
