Latest
update:
September 4th, 2012 (added website
for St Faith's, Gaywood, Norfolk)
This list records all the churches and
chapels worldwide of which we are aware, functioning or
closed, dedicated wholly or in part to our patron, Saint
Faith. It has been co0mpiled from a variety of sources and
we update it whenever possible.
Other churches are welcome to make any use they wish of this
list (as some have already done): an acknowledgement would be
appreciated....
Those
named in red below are
described, illustrated or referred to on our 'Saint
Elsewhere' page,
or where indicated alongside, have websites
to visit. The
'Saint Elsewhere' page also records all changes to the Saint
Faith's list, as well as other additions, revisions and
updates.
