St Mary the Virgin, Eccleston

God’s people at St Mary’s are a family. A welcoming, warm, friendly, and supportive family.

We rejoice in our being a family made up of all ages, and enjoy a whole host of gatherings and events throughout the year. A word which says much about St Mary’s is: JOY! St Mary’s is a lively place, celebrating the Joy which we find in Jesus Christ, and in one another.

The parish is fortunate in having its own Church Voluntary Aided Primary School which is just over a mile from church, a distance which means children and staff can enjoy a walk to the church for services as well as the Rector, Fr Jordan, leading weekly acts of worship at the school.

The worshipping congregation at St Mary’s is committed to serving God in this place and, in part, this happens through the events we hold and a genuine desire to invite others in to the blessings we, ourselves, are receiving. You are very welcome.
