St Mary's church is open every day and all visitors are very welcome to enjoy the peace for a quiet prayer or join us for our various Sunday services and other events. We cater for all ages, ranging from Messy Church for our young people to get-togethers for all ages at our monthly coffee mornings, Luncheon Club for the elderly and House Groups for more in depth discussions. We support the wider community by having close links to our Primary School, supporting FIND (Families in Need) in Ipswich and being a Fairtrade church.
When there is a fifth week in a month, we hold a Benefice Communion Service, on rotation in each Church within the Benefice.
Our Benefice of Carlford is committed to safeguarding children, young people, and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Safeguarding Officers. Our Diocese of St. Edmundsbury & Ipswich’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer who advises our Safeguarding Officers. If you are worried that someone has been harmed, or may be harmed please contact our Safeguarding Officers ([email protected]) or the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer Karen Galloway 07785 621319 or [email protected]
If you think someone is in danger now, ring 999. Further information can be found on the diocesan website Promoting a safer church - Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich.
