DESCRIPTION:Wednesday Coffee Morning\n\nOur Wednesday Coffee Morning\, in 
 Stanwell\, is a simple but cherished part of parish life — a time for fr
 iendship\, laughter\, and conversation shared over a cup of coffee (or tea
 !) and a slice of something delicious.\n\nEveryone is welcome — regular 
 churchgoers and those who simply enjoy good company. It’s a chance to pa
 use in the middle of the week\, to meet new faces\, catch up with old frie
 nds\, and share the warmth of community.\n\nWhat makes our coffee mornings
  special is the way they bring people together: young and old\, church and
  not\, all gathered around the same table. In these small moments of kindn
 ess and connection\, we see something of God’s joy and hospitality at wo
 rk among us.\n\nCome as you are\, stay as long as you like — there’s a
 lways a seat and a smile waiting for you.

DESCRIPTION:The Parish Mass\n\nThe Mass is the heart of our worship — th
 e place where heaven and earth meet. Here we come together to receive God
 ’s grace\, to be nourished by his Word\, and to share in communion with 
 Christ and with one another.\n\nIn the Eucharist\, Jesus himself is truly 
 present and active. Through the mystery of the Mass\, we are drawn to the 
 foot of the Cross\, where his self-giving love is made present for us anew
 . Every Mass is a celebration of that love — a living act of thanksgivin
 g and renewal.\n\nWe do not come to Mass as spectators\, but as participan
 ts. Each of us has a part to play\, joining our prayers\, songs\, and hear
 ts in offering ourselves to God. Some serve as Eucharistic Ministers\, hel
 ping to distribute Holy Communion so that all may share in Christ’s gift
 . Others serve as Lectors\, proclaiming the Scriptures and bringing God’
 s Word to life. Cantors and choir members lead us in song\, lifting our wo
 rship in praise and thanksgiving.\n\nThe celebrant stands at the altar in 
 the person of Christ\, leading us in prayer\, proclaiming God’s Word\, a
 nd consecrating the bread and wine so that they become for us the Body and
  Blood of the Lord.\n\nAt the heart of it all is Christ himself\, gatherin
 g us around his table and drawing us ever deeper into his life and love.

DESCRIPTION:Evensong and Benediction\n\nEvensong and Benediction offer a p
 eaceful and contemplative close to the day\, drawing us into the beauty of
  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

DESCRIPTION:The Family Mass\n\nThe Family Mass is a joyful and welcoming c
 elebration of the Holy Eucharist\, bringing together people of all ages to
  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio
 n and prayer\, though without hymns — allowing the beauty of the liturgy
  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

 find a friendly and thoughtful group eager to listen\, learn\, and grow in
  faith together.\n\nCome as you are\, bring a Bible if you have one\, and 
 join us as we open God’s Word and discover its living message for our ti

 eaceful and contemplative close to the day\, drawing us into the beauty of
  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio

  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

DESCRIPTION:Wednesday Coffee Morning\n\nOur Wednesday Coffee Morning\, in 
 Stanwell\, is a simple but cherished part of parish life — a time for fr
 iendship\, laughter\, and conversation shared over a cup of coffee (or tea
 !) and a slice of something delicious.\n\nEveryone is welcome — regular 
 churchgoers and those who simply enjoy good company. It’s a chance to pa
 use in the middle of the week\, to meet new faces\, catch up with old frie
 nds\, and share the warmth of community.\n\nWhat makes our coffee mornings
  special is the way they bring people together: young and old\, church and
  not\, all gathered around the same table. In these small moments of kindn
 ess and connection\, we see something of God’s joy and hospitality at wo
 rk among us.\n\nCome as you are\, stay as long as you like — there’s a
 lways a seat and a smile waiting for you.

DESCRIPTION:Evensong and Benediction\n\nEvensong and Benediction offer a p
 eaceful and contemplative close to the day\, drawing us into the beauty of
  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

DESCRIPTION:The Family Mass\n\nThe Family Mass is a joyful and welcoming c
 elebration of the Holy Eucharist\, bringing together people of all ages to
  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio
 n and prayer\, though without hymns — allowing the beauty of the liturgy
  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

DESCRIPTION:Evensong and Benediction\n\nEvensong and Benediction offer a p
 eaceful and contemplative close to the day\, drawing us into the beauty of
  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

 !) and a slice of something delicious.\n\nEveryone is welcome — regular 
 churchgoers and those who simply enjoy good company. It’s a chance to pa
 use in the middle of the week\, to meet new faces\, catch up with old frie

  special is the way they bring people together: young and old\, church and
  not\, all gathered around the same table. In these small moments of kindn
 ess and connection\, we see something of God’s joy and hospitality at wo
 rk among us.\n\nCome as you are\, stay as long as you like — there’s a

DESCRIPTION:The Low Mass\n\nLow Mass is a simple and prayerful celebration
  of the Holy Eucharist. Without music or ceremony\, it offers a still mome
 nt of encounter with God in Word and Sacrament.\n\nIn this quieter form of
  the Mass\, we are invited into a deeper silence — a space to listen\, t
 o reflect\, and to be renewed by Christ’s presence. Here\, without distr
 action\, we can attend closely to the mystery unfolding before us: the off
 ering of Christ on the Cross made present for us again at the altar.\n\nTh
 e celebrant leads us through the prayers and readings\, proclaiming the Wo
 rd of God and consecrating the bread and wine so that they become the Body
  and Blood of Christ. Though the form is simple\, the grace we receive is 
 no less abundant.\n\nAt Low Mass\, the focus is not on outward splendour\,
  but on the quiet intimacy of faith — a personal meeting with the Lord w
 ho feeds and strengthens us for the life of discipleship.

DESCRIPTION:The Low Mass\n\nLow Mass is a simple and prayerful celebration
  of the Holy Eucharist. Without music or ceremony\, it offers a still mome
 nt of encounter with God in Word and Sacrament.\n\nIn this quieter form of
  the Mass\, we are invited into a deeper silence — a space to listen\, t
 o reflect\, and to be renewed by Christ’s presence. Here\, without distr
 action\, we can attend closely to the mystery unfolding before us: the off
 ering of Christ on the Cross made present for us again at the altar.\n\nTh
 e celebrant leads us through the prayers and readings\, proclaiming the Wo
 rd of God and consecrating the bread and wine so that they become the Body
  and Blood of Christ. Though the form is simple\, the grace we receive is 
 no less abundant.\n\nAt Low Mass\, the focus is not on outward splendour\,
  but on the quiet intimacy of faith — a personal meeting with the Lord w
 ho feeds and strengthens us for the life of discipleship.

  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang

 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar

 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w

DESCRIPTION:The Family Mass\n\nThe Family Mass is a joyful and welcoming c
 elebration of the Holy Eucharist\, bringing together people of all ages to
  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio
 n and prayer\, though without hymns — allowing the beauty of the liturgy
  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

  lift its voice in praise of God.\n\nDuring practice\, we rehearse hymns\,
  psalms\, and settings for the Mass and other services\, deepening both ou
 r musical skills and our shared devotion. It is a joyful and supportive sp
 ace where voices blend\, friendships grow\, and faith finds expression thr
 ough music.\n\nYou don’t need to be a professional singer — only a wil
 ling heart and a love of worship. New members are always welcome to come a
 long\, listen in\, and discover the beauty of serving God through song.

 eaceful and contemplative close to the day\, drawing us into the beauty of
  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

  of the Holy Eucharist. Without music or ceremony\, it offers a still mome
 nt of encounter with God in Word and Sacrament.\n\nIn this quieter form of
  the Mass\, we are invited into a deeper silence — a space to listen\, t
 o reflect\, and to be renewed by Christ’s presence. Here\, without distr
 action\, we can attend closely to the mystery unfolding before us: the off
 ering of Christ on the Cross made present for us again at the altar.\n\nTh
 e celebrant leads us through the prayers and readings\, proclaiming the Wo
 rd of God and consecrating the bread and wine so that they become the Body
  and Blood of Christ. Though the form is simple\, the grace we receive is 
 no less abundant.\n\nAt Low Mass\, the focus is not on outward splendour\,
  but on the quiet intimacy of faith — a personal meeting with the Lord w
 ho feeds and strengthens us for the life of discipleship.

DESCRIPTION:The Low Mass\n\nLow Mass is a simple and prayerful celebration
  of the Holy Eucharist. Without music or ceremony\, it offers a still mome
 nt of encounter with God in Word and Sacrament.\n\nIn this quieter form of
  the Mass\, we are invited into a deeper silence — a space to listen\, t
 o reflect\, and to be renewed by Christ’s presence. Here\, without distr
 action\, we can attend closely to the mystery unfolding before us: the off
 ering of Christ on the Cross made present for us again at the altar.\n\nTh
 e celebrant leads us through the prayers and readings\, proclaiming the Wo
 rd of God and consecrating the bread and wine so that they become the Body
  and Blood of Christ. Though the form is simple\, the grace we receive is 
 no less abundant.\n\nAt Low Mass\, the focus is not on outward splendour\,
  but on the quiet intimacy of faith — a personal meeting with the Lord w
 ho feeds and strengthens us for the life of discipleship.

DESCRIPTION:The Family Mass\n\nThe Family Mass is a joyful and welcoming c
 elebration of the Holy Eucharist\, bringing together people of all ages to
  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio
 n and prayer\, though without hymns — allowing the beauty of the liturgy
  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

DESCRIPTION:Evensong and Benediction\n\nEvensong and Benediction offer a p
 eaceful and contemplative close to the day\, drawing us into the beauty of
  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

DESCRIPTION:The Family Mass\n\nThe Family Mass is a joyful and welcoming c
 elebration of the Holy Eucharist\, bringing together people of all ages to
  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio
 n and prayer\, though without hymns — allowing the beauty of the liturgy
  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

 !) and a slice of something delicious.\n\nEveryone is welcome — regular 
 churchgoers and those who simply enjoy good company. It’s a chance to pa
 use in the middle of the week\, to meet new faces\, catch up with old frie

  special is the way they bring people together: young and old\, church and
  not\, all gathered around the same table. In these small moments of kindn
 ess and connection\, we see something of God’s joy and hospitality at wo

  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio
 n and prayer\, though without hymns — allowing the beauty of the liturgy
  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

 Stanwell\, is a simple but cherished part of parish life — a time for fr
 iendship\, laughter\, and conversation shared over a cup of coffee (or tea
 !) and a slice of something delicious.\n\nEveryone is welcome — regular 
 churchgoers and those who simply enjoy good company. It’s a chance to pa
 use in the middle of the week\, to meet new faces\, catch up with old frie
 nds\, and share the warmth of community.\n\nWhat makes our coffee mornings
  special is the way they bring people together: young and old\, church and
  not\, all gathered around the same table. In these small moments of kindn
 ess and connection\, we see something of God’s joy and hospitality at wo
 rk among us.\n\nCome as you are\, stay as long as you like — there’s a
 lways a seat and a smile waiting for you.

 e place where heaven and earth meet. Here we come together to receive God
 ’s grace\, to be nourished by his Word\, and to share in communion with 
 Christ and with one another.\n\nIn the Eucharist\, Jesus himself is truly 
 present and active. Through the mystery of the Mass\, we are drawn to the 
 foot of the Cross\, where his self-giving love is made present for us anew
 . Every Mass is a celebration of that love — a living act of thanksgivin
 g and renewal.\n\nWe do not come to Mass as spectators\, but as participan
 ts. Each of us has a part to play\, joining our prayers\, songs\, and hear
 ts in offering ourselves to God. Some serve as Eucharistic Ministers\, hel
 ping to distribute Holy Communion so that all may share in Christ’s gift
 . Others serve as Lectors\, proclaiming the Scriptures and bringing God’
 s Word to life. Cantors and choir members lead us in song\, lifting our wo
 rship in praise and thanksgiving.\n\nThe celebrant stands at the altar in 
 the person of Christ\, leading us in prayer\, proclaiming God’s Word\, a
 nd consecrating the bread and wine so that they become for us the Body and
  Blood of the Lord.\n\nAt the heart of it all is Christ himself\, gatherin

DESCRIPTION:Evensong and Benediction\n\nEvensong and Benediction offer a p
 eaceful and contemplative close to the day\, drawing us into the beauty of
  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

DESCRIPTION:The Family Mass\n\nThe Family Mass is a joyful and welcoming c
 elebration of the Holy Eucharist\, bringing together people of all ages to
  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio
 n and prayer\, though without hymns — allowing the beauty of the liturgy
  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

 eaceful and contemplative close to the day\, drawing us into the beauty of
  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio

  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

DESCRIPTION:Wednesday Coffee Morning\n\nOur Wednesday Coffee Morning\, in 
 Stanwell\, is a simple but cherished part of parish life — a time for fr
 iendship\, laughter\, and conversation shared over a cup of coffee (or tea
 !) and a slice of something delicious.\n\nEveryone is welcome — regular 
 churchgoers and those who simply enjoy good company. It’s a chance to pa
 use in the middle of the week\, to meet new faces\, catch up with old frie
 nds\, and share the warmth of community.\n\nWhat makes our coffee mornings
  special is the way they bring people together: young and old\, church and
  not\, all gathered around the same table. In these small moments of kindn
 ess and connection\, we see something of God’s joy and hospitality at wo
 rk among us.\n\nCome as you are\, stay as long as you like — there’s a
 lways a seat and a smile waiting for you.

DESCRIPTION:Evensong and Benediction\n\nEvensong and Benediction offer a p
 eaceful and contemplative close to the day\, drawing us into the beauty of
  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

DESCRIPTION:The Family Mass\n\nThe Family Mass is a joyful and welcoming c
 elebration of the Holy Eucharist\, bringing together people of all ages to
  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio
 n and prayer\, though without hymns — allowing the beauty of the liturgy
  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

 eaceful and contemplative close to the day\, drawing us into the beauty of
  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

 churchgoers and those who simply enjoy good company. It’s a chance to pa
 use in the middle of the week\, to meet new faces\, catch up with old frie

  special is the way they bring people together: young and old\, church and
  not\, all gathered around the same table. In these small moments of kindn
 ess and connection\, we see something of God’s joy and hospitality at wo
 rk among us.\n\nCome as you are\, stay as long as you like — there’s a

  of the Holy Eucharist. Without music or ceremony\, it offers a still mome
 nt of encounter with God in Word and Sacrament.\n\nIn this quieter form of
  the Mass\, we are invited into a deeper silence — a space to listen\, t
 o reflect\, and to be renewed by Christ’s presence. Here\, without distr
 action\, we can attend closely to the mystery unfolding before us: the off
 ering of Christ on the Cross made present for us again at the altar.\n\nTh
 e celebrant leads us through the prayers and readings\, proclaiming the Wo
 rd of God and consecrating the bread and wine so that they become the Body
  and Blood of Christ. Though the form is simple\, the grace we receive is 
 no less abundant.\n\nAt Low Mass\, the focus is not on outward splendour\,
  but on the quiet intimacy of faith — a personal meeting with the Lord w
 ho feeds and strengthens us for the life of discipleship.

 attend closely to the mystery unfolding before us: the offering of Christ 
 on the Cross made present for us again at the altar.\n\nThe celebrant lead

 .\n\nAt Low Mass\, the focus is not on outward splendour\, but on the quie

 engthens us for the life of discipleship.

  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

DESCRIPTION:The Family Mass\n\nThe Family Mass is a joyful and welcoming c
 elebration of the Holy Eucharist\, bringing together people of all ages to
  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio
 n and prayer\, though without hymns — allowing the beauty of the liturgy
  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

 eaceful and contemplative close to the day\, drawing us into the beauty of
  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

  of the Holy Eucharist. Without music or ceremony\, it offers a still mome
 nt of encounter with God in Word and Sacrament.\n\nIn this quieter form of
  the Mass\, we are invited into a deeper silence — a space to listen\, t
 o reflect\, and to be renewed by Christ’s presence. Here\, without distr
 action\, we can attend closely to the mystery unfolding before us: the off
 ering of Christ on the Cross made present for us again at the altar.\n\nTh
 e celebrant leads us through the prayers and readings\, proclaiming the Wo
 rd of God and consecrating the bread and wine so that they become the Body
  and Blood of Christ. Though the form is simple\, the grace we receive is 
 no less abundant.\n\nAt Low Mass\, the focus is not on outward splendour\,
  but on the quiet intimacy of faith — a personal meeting with the Lord w
 ho feeds and strengthens us for the life of discipleship.

DESCRIPTION:The Low Mass\n\nLow Mass is a simple and prayerful celebration
  of the Holy Eucharist. Without music or ceremony\, it offers a still mome
 nt of encounter with God in Word and Sacrament.\n\nIn this quieter form of
  the Mass\, we are invited into a deeper silence — a space to listen\, t
 o reflect\, and to be renewed by Christ’s presence. Here\, without distr
 action\, we can attend closely to the mystery unfolding before us: the off
 ering of Christ on the Cross made present for us again at the altar.\n\nTh
 e celebrant leads us through the prayers and readings\, proclaiming the Wo
 rd of God and consecrating the bread and wine so that they become the Body
  and Blood of Christ. Though the form is simple\, the grace we receive is 
 no less abundant.\n\nAt Low Mass\, the focus is not on outward splendour\,
  but on the quiet intimacy of faith — a personal meeting with the Lord w
 ho feeds and strengthens us for the life of discipleship.

DESCRIPTION:The Family Mass\n\nThe Family Mass is a joyful and welcoming c
 elebration of the Holy Eucharist\, bringing together people of all ages to
  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio
 n and prayer\, though without hymns — allowing the beauty of the liturgy
  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

DESCRIPTION:Evensong and Benediction\n\nEvensong and Benediction offer a p
 eaceful and contemplative close to the day\, drawing us into the beauty of
  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

 elebration of the Holy Eucharist\, bringing together people of all ages to
  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio
 n and prayer\, though without hymns — allowing the beauty of the liturgy
  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

 !) and a slice of something delicious.\n\nEveryone is welcome — regular 
 churchgoers and those who simply enjoy good company. It’s a chance to pa
 use in the middle of the week\, to meet new faces\, catch up with old frie

  special is the way they bring people together: young and old\, church and
  not\, all gathered around the same table. In these small moments of kindn
 ess and connection\, we see something of God’s joy and hospitality at wo

  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio

  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

DESCRIPTION:Wednesday Coffee Morning\n\nOur Wednesday Coffee Morning\, in 
 Stanwell\, is a simple but cherished part of parish life — a time for fr
 iendship\, laughter\, and conversation shared over a cup of coffee (or tea
 !) and a slice of something delicious.\n\nEveryone is welcome — regular 
 churchgoers and those who simply enjoy good company. It’s a chance to pa
 use in the middle of the week\, to meet new faces\, catch up with old frie
 nds\, and share the warmth of community.\n\nWhat makes our coffee mornings
  special is the way they bring people together: young and old\, church and
  not\, all gathered around the same table. In these small moments of kindn
 ess and connection\, we see something of God’s joy and hospitality at wo
 rk among us.\n\nCome as you are\, stay as long as you like — there’s a
 lways a seat and a smile waiting for you.

 ’s grace\, to be nourished by his Word\, and to share in communion with 
 Christ and with one another.\n\nIn the Eucharist\, Jesus himself is truly 
 present and active. Through the mystery of the Mass\, we are drawn to the

 . Every Mass is a celebration of that love — a living act of thanksgivin
 g and renewal.\n\nWe do not come to Mass as spectators\, but as participan

 ts in offering ourselves to God. Some serve as Eucharistic Ministers\, hel

 . Others serve as Lectors\, proclaiming the Scriptures and bringing God’

DESCRIPTION:Evensong and Benediction\n\nEvensong and Benediction offer a p
 eaceful and contemplative close to the day\, drawing us into the beauty of
  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

DESCRIPTION:The Family Mass\n\nThe Family Mass is a joyful and welcoming c
 elebration of the Holy Eucharist\, bringing together people of all ages to
  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio
 n and prayer\, though without hymns — allowing the beauty of the liturgy
  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

 !) and a slice of something delicious.\n\nEveryone is welcome — regular 
 churchgoers and those who simply enjoy good company. It’s a chance to pa
 use in the middle of the week\, to meet new faces\, catch up with old frie

  special is the way they bring people together: young and old\, church and
  not\, all gathered around the same table. In these small moments of kindn
 ess and connection\, we see something of God’s joy and hospitality at wo
 rk among us.\n\nCome as you are\, stay as long as you like — there’s a

  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio

  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme

 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

DESCRIPTION:Wednesday Coffee Morning\n\nOur Wednesday Coffee Morning\, in 
 Stanwell\, is a simple but cherished part of parish life — a time for fr
 iendship\, laughter\, and conversation shared over a cup of coffee (or tea
 !) and a slice of something delicious.\n\nEveryone is welcome — regular 
 churchgoers and those who simply enjoy good company. It’s a chance to pa
 use in the middle of the week\, to meet new faces\, catch up with old frie
 nds\, and share the warmth of community.\n\nWhat makes our coffee mornings
  special is the way they bring people together: young and old\, church and
  not\, all gathered around the same table. In these small moments of kindn
 ess and connection\, we see something of God’s joy and hospitality at wo
 rk among us.\n\nCome as you are\, stay as long as you like — there’s a
 lways a seat and a smile waiting for you.

  and Blood of Christ. Though the form is simple\, the grace we receive is 
 no less abundant.\n\nAt Low Mass\, the focus is not on outward splendour\,
  but on the quiet intimacy of faith — a personal meeting with the Lord w

 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

DESCRIPTION:The Family Mass\n\nThe Family Mass is a joyful and welcoming c
 elebration of the Holy Eucharist\, bringing together people of all ages to
  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio
 n and prayer\, though without hymns — allowing the beauty of the liturgy
  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a

  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang

 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres

 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar

 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w

DESCRIPTION:The Family Mass\n\nThe Family Mass is a joyful and welcoming c
 elebration of the Holy Eucharist\, bringing together people of all ages to
  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio
 n and prayer\, though without hymns — allowing the beauty of the liturgy
  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

 ly Rosary\, joining our voices and hearts in reflection on the life\, deat
 h\, and resurrection of Jesus Christ through the eyes of his Blessed Mothe
 r.\n\nThe Rosary is a simple yet profound form of prayer\, inviting us to 
 meditate on the mysteries of faith — the joyful\, luminous\, sorrowful\,
  and glorious events of our salvation. As the familiar prayers flow\, we a
 re drawn into quiet contemplation\, allowing the love of Christ and the in
 tercession of Our Lady to bring peace and strength.\n\nPraying together on
 line allows those who cannot attend in person to share in this devotion\, 
 uniting the parish family in prayer across time and place. Whether you are
  new to the Rosary or long accustomed to its rhythm\, you are warmly welco
 me to join us in this time of grace and reflection.

DESCRIPTION:Evensong and Benediction\n\nEvensong and Benediction offer a p
 eaceful and contemplative close to the day\, drawing us into the beauty of
  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr

  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme

 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

 churchgoers and those who simply enjoy good company. It’s a chance to pa
 use in the middle of the week\, to meet new faces\, catch up with old frie

  special is the way they bring people together: young and old\, church and
  not\, all gathered around the same table. In these small moments of kindn
 ess and connection\, we see something of God’s joy and hospitality at wo

  of the Holy Eucharist. Without music or ceremony\, it offers a still mome
 nt of encounter with God in Word and Sacrament.\n\nIn this quieter form of
  the Mass\, we are invited into a deeper silence — a space to listen\, t
 o reflect\, and to be renewed by Christ’s presence. Here\, without distr
 action\, we can attend closely to the mystery unfolding before us: the off
 ering of Christ on the Cross made present for us again at the altar.\n\nTh
 e celebrant leads us through the prayers and readings\, proclaiming the Wo
 rd of God and consecrating the bread and wine so that they become the Body
  and Blood of Christ. Though the form is simple\, the grace we receive is 
 no less abundant.\n\nAt Low Mass\, the focus is not on outward splendour\,
  but on the quiet intimacy of faith — a personal meeting with the Lord w
 ho feeds and strengthens us for the life of discipleship.

DESCRIPTION:The Low Mass\n\nLow Mass is a simple and prayerful celebration
  of the Holy Eucharist. Without music or ceremony\, it offers a still mome
 nt of encounter with God in Word and Sacrament.\n\nIn this quieter form of
  the Mass\, we are invited into a deeper silence — a space to listen\, t
 o reflect\, and to be renewed by Christ’s presence. Here\, without distr
 action\, we can attend closely to the mystery unfolding before us: the off
 ering of Christ on the Cross made present for us again at the altar.\n\nTh
 e celebrant leads us through the prayers and readings\, proclaiming the Wo
 rd of God and consecrating the bread and wine so that they become the Body
  and Blood of Christ. Though the form is simple\, the grace we receive is 
 no less abundant.\n\nAt Low Mass\, the focus is not on outward splendour\,
  but on the quiet intimacy of faith — a personal meeting with the Lord w
 ho feeds and strengthens us for the life of discipleship.

DESCRIPTION:The Family Mass\n\nThe Family Mass is a joyful and welcoming c
 elebration of the Holy Eucharist\, bringing together people of all ages to
  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio
 n and prayer\, though without hymns — allowing the beauty of the liturgy
  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

DESCRIPTION:Evensong and Benediction\n\nEvensong and Benediction offer a p
 eaceful and contemplative close to the day\, drawing us into the beauty of
  evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nEvensong is the
  Church’s traditional service of evening worship\, sung in the rich lang
 uage of Scripture and prayer. Rooted in the Psalms and the ancient canticl
 es of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis\, it includes readings that open the tr
 easures of Scripture and the writings of the saints\, helping us to reflec
 t more deeply on the mystery of faith. The music and words together lift o
 ur hearts in thanksgiving and trust\, reminding us of God’s abiding pres
 ence.\n\nFollowing Evensong\, we enter into Benediction of the Blessed Sac
 rament — a time of stillness and awe before Christ present in the Euchar
 ist. The Blessed Sacrament is placed upon the altar\, and we adore the Lor
 d in silence and song\, receiving his blessing in the sign of the Cross.\n
 \nEvensong and Benediction together unite the beauty of Anglican worship w
 ith the deep devotion of Catholic tradition: word and sacrament\, praise a
 nd presence\, rest and renewal in the love of Christ.

DESCRIPTION:The Family Mass\n\nThe Family Mass is a joyful and welcoming c
 elebration of the Holy Eucharist\, bringing together people of all ages to
  worship as one family in Christ. It is a sung Mass\, rich in participatio
 n and prayer\, though without hymns — allowing the beauty of the liturgy
  itself to lead us in praise.\n\nHere\, children and adults alike share in
  the rhythm of the Church’s worship\, hearing God’s Word\, offering pr
 ayers\, and coming together around the altar to receive the Body and Blood
  of Christ. The familiar responses and simple chants help everyone to take
  part\, creating a sense of unity and belonging.\n\nThe celebrant leads us
  in prayer and thanksgiving\, proclaiming the Scriptures and consecrating 
 the bread and wine so that we may be fed with Christ’s life. Every eleme
 nt of the Family Mass — the readings\, the music\, the stillness — dra
 ws us closer to God and to one another.\n\nThis Mass invites families to g
 row in faith together\, learning the beauty of worship and discovering the
  quiet joy of meeting Christ in the Eucharist.

DESCRIPTION:Wednesday Coffee Morning\n\nOur Wednesday Coffee Morning\, in 
 Stanwell\, is a simple but cherished part of parish life — a time for fr
 iendship\, laughter\, and conversation shared over a cup of coffee (or tea
 !) and a slice of something delicious.\n\nEveryone is welcome — regular 
 churchgoers and those who simply enjoy good company. It’s a chance to pa
 use in the middle of the week\, to meet new faces\, catch up with old frie
 nds\, and share the warmth of community.\n\nWhat makes our coffee mornings
  special is the way they bring people together: young and old\, church and
  not\, all gathered around the same table. In these small moments of kindn
 ess and connection\, we see something of God’s joy and hospitality at wo
 rk among us.\n\nCome as you are\, stay as long as you like — there’s a
 lways a seat and a smile waiting for you.

DESCRIPTION:The Low Mass\n\nLow Mass is a simple and prayerful celebration
  of the Holy Eucharist. Without music or ceremony\, it offers a still mome
 nt of encounter with God in Word and Sacrament.\n\nIn this quieter form of
  the Mass\, we are invited into a deeper silence — a space to listen\, t
 o reflect\, and to be renewed by Christ’s presence. Here\, without distr
 action\, we can attend closely to the mystery unfolding before us: the off
 ering of Christ on the Cross made present for us again at the altar.\n\nTh
 e celebrant leads us through the prayers and readings\, proclaiming the Wo
 rd of God and consecrating the bread and wine so that they become the Body
  and Blood of Christ. Though the form is simple\, the grace we receive is 
 no less abundant.\n\nAt Low Mass\, the focus is not on outward splendour\,
  but on the quiet intimacy of faith — a personal meeting with the Lord w
 ho feeds and strengthens us for the life of discipleship.
