Welcome to St Mary’s, Trawden, your Community Church. We are a happy, friendly Church, offering people of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to meet with, learn more about and worship God together. St Mary’s has a rich history celebrating traditional Church festivals and events as well as the privilege of sharing with local families in baptisms, weddings and funerals. Everyone is very welcome. It will be lovely to see you.
There are normally services on Sunday mornings at 09:30. There are also Sunday services at our sister churches Christ Church Colne (normally 11:00), and St Michael's Foulridge (normally 09:30).
Three Sundays a month there will be a communion service with music and hymns. Once a month there is an All Age Service often led by members of the Church and the Music Group.
Our Rector is the Rev Canon Andy Froud. Andy joined us at end of January 2023 having previously been a popular priest in Clitheroe, and he also serves Christ Church and St Michael's Foulridge. Andy is helped by the Rev David Hargreaves who is our Associate Priest.
Our Parish of Trawden St Mary is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Blackburn’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services
