Internationals
Welcome to Our International Community
Welcome to our International Community — a place where people from all cultures and backgrounds can connect, grow in faith, and feel at home.
The Heilige Lodewijk (Saint Louis) is situated in the center of the city of Leiden in The Netherlands. Our group of English speaking parishioners, who are visiting and actively participating in our parish-life, is expanding. We hope that also you will have a warm welcome and have "a-home-away-from-home" in our beautiful church.
You are also most welcome to join us in our daily Mass and especially in the English Mass, which is every Sunday at 17.00. Every first Sunday of the month, there is “Meet & Greet”: coffee after Mass, which is a wonderful opportunity to meet and socialize with each other. During Summer, there is no English Mass for a few weeks. You are more than welcome at the Sunday Mass at 10.00 am.
We welcome international students. Join our English Mass at the Heilige Lodewijk on Sunday at 17.00.
