The church building is open for individual private prayer in the Catherine Chapel on Wednesdays from midday to 1.00pm; come and go as you wish during this time.

As you will understand this opportunity needs to be offered in a controlled manner. To enable 'social distancing' the chairs are set out 2m apart, please do not move them. There are no stewards on duty, but please use the hand sanitizer as you enter and leave and support social distancing. Please bring your own Bible or any other aids to prayer that you find helpful.

Government advice is that you should not be leaving your home if you have a new, continuous cough or a high temperature or loss of or change to sense of smell or taste. This is to minimise risk of spread of COVID-19 to friends, the wider community, and particularly the vulnerable. Individuals who are shielding should continue to follow the government’s advice on shielding.

Please note that face coverings must be worn.

Please note that this is for private prayer only; we are unable to grant access for other visitors; access is restricted to the Catherine Chapel to make cleaning easier. We are unable to offer access to refreshments or toilet facilities.

Join us either in person or 'virtually' on Sunday at 10.30am our service, which follows Church of England liturgy with confession, absolution, reading, sermon, prayers and communion – about 50 minutes. The service will also be streamed live from St Mary's Church via our Facebook page for those who cannot join us in person.

Sadly at this time we cannot sing although we are exploring options to bring choral music back into our services in the near future.

Click "more about this event" to be re-directed to the livestream on Facebook. A copy of the video will be uploaded later in the day to our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn_FG88KkngZBazrLzQrR8Q
