Partnerships
The Basildon, Billericay & Wickford Parish Partnership
The Most Holy Redeemer has joined with the Basildon and Wickford parishes to form a Parish Partnership.
The Parish Partnership Plan details the aims of what the Parish Partnership plans to achieve.
Blaauwbosch
Our parish has been twinned with the parish of Blauuwbosch in South Africa Natal province since 1985. This arose from our diocese being twinned with the diocese of Dundee SA. The initiative came from our Bishop Thomas in response to a call for help from Bishop Michael Rollandes, a Franciscan priest from Essex.
CAFOD
CAFOD is the official aid agency of the Catholic Church in England and Wales and part of Caritas International. Across the world we bring hope and compassion to poor communities, standing side by side with them to end poverty and injustice. We work with people of all faiths and none.
Inspired by Scripture and Catholic Social Teaching, and the experiences and hopes of people living in poverty, CAFOD works for a safe, sustainable and peaceful world.

Our aim is to increase the depth and richness of the Catholic Community through friendship and social and charitable activities.

Justice & Peace Group Developing Countries 100 Club
This is a project to raise money for the poor by supporting small Third World charitable organisations, e.g. contributing to the relief of poverty by missionaries. Each year 100 supporters pay the annual subscription of £24 and each month there is a draw resulting in £100 being donated to a small Third World charity and a further £100 being won by a subscriber. Naturally, the number of 100 Club members fluctuates slightly, so, there is always a need for more members, to keep the number up to 100.
BCCS
The Brentwood Catholic Children's Society is a children's charity for Essex and East London. They believe that every child should be loved and supported. Some children experience great hardship and suffering and so the BCCS provides counselling for children and young adults whose wellbeing, and mental and emotional health, could be at risk.
